A Wedding Gift Finally Finished

I hope she likes it! The wedding is this weekend.

Woah... Surprise Book!

We got a package today... and in it was...

An arriving-at-the-last-minute-Christmas-present!

I love all the projects in this book, including all the pictures and all the antique-looking things!

Christmas Traditions

We have this little Christmas tradition...

We go to Nanster's and Papa's house on Christmas Eve.

 Nanster LOVED her blanket!

 I screamed when I unwrapped this. XD

My favorite PJs. =D

And then we go home, but Daddy felt so bad that we didn't exchange out gifts to each other...

SO WE DID IT THIS MORNING!!!

 Momma: "OH! I love these gloves... where on earth did you find that peace sign, honey? Oh, and you even made me socks!"=-

*Later* Momma: "These socks are a bit big..."

Daddy: "Oh, don't worry, you'll grow into them."

Three of us: *Burst into laughter*

 Daddy: "A Zac Brown Band hat? Thanks, Cate!"

*Later* Papa: "You know, you remind me of someone in that hat...."

Me: "Zac Brown Band?"

Papa: "Yeah!"

 Daddy: "Thanks, I love it!"

And what I wanted for Christmas!

I also got the Jeporady Wii Game, Wheel of Fortune Wii game, a couple of crochet books(pictures next post), and fun with my family!

Nanster and Papa come over on Christmas morning and we all make breakfast. =P

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

My Zac Hat

Just in case that anyone you know is obcessed with the Zac Brown Band or you wanna make it for yourself, here's my pattern:

Begin: ch 4, sl st to make a ring.

Rnd 1: ch 3, 9 dc in ring. sl st to 3rd ch.

Rnd 2: ch 3, dc in joining ch, 2 dc in each dc. sl st into joining ch.

Rnd 3: ch 3, dc in joining ch. *1 dc, 2 dc* all around. sl st into 3rd ch.

Rnd 4: ch 3, dc in joining ch. *dc in next 2 dc, 2 dc* all around. sl st into 3rd ch.

Rnd 5: ch 3, dc in joining ch. *dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc* all around. sl st into 3rd ch.

Rnd 6: ch 3, dc in joining ch. *dc in next 4 dc, 2 dc* all around. sl st into 3rd ch.

Rnd 7-12: ch 3,dc in each dc. sl st in 3rd ch.

Rnd 13: ch 3, dc in each dc. change to second color with sl st.

Rnd 14-16: Same as 7.

Rnd 17: ch 3, dc in each dc. sl st in 3rd ch and fasten off.

By the way, this one is kinda tight, so if you want it looser, just add one or two more beginning rounds. I wrote the pattern tight 'cause his hat looks sorta tight.

If you do make it, let me know! I wanna see it! =)





 (PS: Re-Edit is Here!)

Finally, Presents!

After 7 hours, four things of tape, two weeks worth of newspaper, and 5 hours of Christmas music, I finally finished wrapping the presents!

Momma's and Daddy's presents about to go into the boxes!

The last two boxes are completed!

Nanster's and Papa's blanket, about to be packed!

Boxes before wrapping....

And after! I love 'em!

Merry Christmas!

~*~ Finished! ~*~

I finally finished that Zac Hat for Daddy!

Yay!

Christmas is here at my house!

Tilt your head, you know you wanna! =P

And some great stuff from upstairs! Yay!!!

I made a new outfit for my rabbit and little dog! Inspired by a nutcracker! lol!

My station is locked on 99.5 WMAG for 'Continuous Christmas Music, Sponsored by WFMY News 2 Winter Feast!' lol.  ^_^

Wrapping the boxes! Be back later with some gifts and wrapped up pretty ones! lol. ^_^

I totally love this time of year! Then again, who doesn't? XD

Whee! We're Home!!!!

We just got in this morning! Check out some of the pictures I took!

And we also ran into the Griswolds!

Right now, you're either laughing out of your chair or opening a new tab to look them up.

There they are! They were holding up traffic in the left lane, and when Daddy said "I wish that the Griswolds would get out of the middle lane," the whole two lanes parted, and in the middle of the road was a dead dog. No kidding. Then Daddy said, "That dog's either been dragged or they just threw him out." I laughed for almost forty miles. XDDD

I made these on the trip. I loved the pattern so much I made another pair.

 Here's Momma's!

I don't think that he really cares that we're home..... lol. I left him in the same spot.
