Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! A picture of our living room and Christmas tree. Well, this is the second Christmas tree as the first one turned into O' Cactus Tree. Not a pretty sight, especially when Christmas is at our house.


First some knitting gift I can post about now.



This is the Fake Isle Skull and Crossbone hat. Knitted with Noro Silk Garden Lite and Cascade 220 white. It was a fun knit. I had to knit it a second time because there was too much space between the skulls and the floats were buckling the hat. Always something to learn!



I am testing the hat out. Need to be careful because I was enjoying it a bit too much! It is Zannie's gift, it is Zannie's gift...!



Chai is modeling the Monkey sock knitted in Socks that Rock lightweight in the color Farmhouse. I love knitting the Monkey socks! You lose a little bit of the beauty of the sock using varigated yarn. A little hard to see the pattern. I think it could be my favorite sock pattern. This was a gift for my MIL.



This is the start of my Siamese kitty sock with the Lucy pattern in Socks that Rock color Lucy. It has little paw prints going up the leg. Very cute.



Christmas table. Look at the new chairs for my Great-Grandmothers dining room table. It was hard finding just the right chair. These chairs are so comfortable and the legs match the legs of my table. Thanks to my FIL for putting the chairs together and staining them! You are a star!



Here is Grandpa getting a tattoo from tattoo artist NB!



NB in her Belle dress from Auntie Jodi. May have been one of her most favorite presents! In that dress, she reminded me of Wendy from Peter Pan.



Colin looking really cute at the able.



Look at the cookies my SIL Maurine made. She is a true cookie artiste! The sugar cookies look like they have little paintings painted on them. They look way too good to eat! Jodi recognize my tiered cookie dish?
