Monday Funny!!!

I am assuming they have it in plastic wrap so you could see the words and still attach it to the tree. I saw one like they years ago and loved it so much I used it as my email tag line for years, but the original said “Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup”.

Winter Weather!

I decided to check the weather to see if the snow from last night was done, but NOPE! Here was an alert on my computer and I took a picture of the snow now coming down. Only suppose to be an inch or so, but with the snow we got last night and the winds that will be coming soon, they are telling a blizzard from blowing snow. I rarely get a good picture of it snowing, but you can see the snow against the tree in the 1st picture!!! Also we have an extreme cold warning from the high winds and the colder weather, making it down to a possible 40 below, ack! I’ll be staying inside, nice and toasty warm!!!

Last day of the Year 2025 – an FO Hat and Just Started Hats and a Baby Sweater.

I started the baby sweater (in the 1st picture in the light blue, Spa color way) in Yarn Bee Warm & Cozy yarn a few weeks ago, but had to frog it and start again. Been a while since I’ve done the Tin Can Knits Flax sweater pattern. Plus I decided to do a cable on the sleeves instead of the garter stitch. I have the neck done and the stitch markers in to mark off the front, back and sleeves. Just started the increases for the raglan part. I will be working on it soon, it needs to be done in February.

The hats are something I work on during the year for the local homeless shelter and as a bonus they give me a mindless knit when I need to knit but don’t have the brain power to think about complicated patterns. I don’t normally have more than one on my needles at a time, because having too many things going at one time gives me anxiety. But, for some reason, I started 3, sigh. The one in the 1st picture, that is finished, was done with I Love This Yarn, Print in the Mahogany Singe color way, it’s a very nice color. The 2nd one in blue in the 2nd picture is the I Love This Yarn, print color way Blueberry Buckle, which is also a very nice color knit up. The 3rd one I went with Yarn Bee Yarn ID in the color way Thistle (a light lavender). All these yarns I buy at Hobby Lobby on the weeks that they are 30% off (which is every other week) and they are all worsted weight. Hobby Lobby has a nice selection and you can also order them online if you don’t like to go to a store to shop. I’m a tactile person and like to see and handle the yarn before I buy :P. Anyway these should keep me busy for a few weeks. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will start spinning again too.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed New Year!!!

The Christmas Story Told by Children

This is from the Book of Mormon on Christmas Eve day, so I’m putting this up on Christmas Eve day :). The prophet Nephi, son of Helaman, is crying to the Lord because the the wicked had said if the sign of the Savior’s birth did not manifest when the Prophet Samuel had foretold, that they would destroy all those who believed in the Savior, Jesus Christ, and they were preparing to do that.

“And it came to pass that he cried mightily unto the Lord all that day; and behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:

Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfill all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets” 3 Nephi 1:12-13

May you all have a blessed and wonderful Christmas, and may the peace of this season be with you through out the New Year.
