It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Yes! We finally finished decking the house for Christmas! You can click them if you want to see them better.

I also had this idea for a project, so I threw down that Granny Stripe and started work on this:

Okay, there's a lot of white sc's... but trust me, I think I know what I'm doing! I hope that this is more of a hint:

No? Oh, okay then.

It was a very wet day today, and I hope it gets colder with it! It's not December until it's 50 degrees or lower! Here I go again, blabbing about the weather.

I hope you enjoy this video. Have a great week!

Happy December!

It's December! Wow! I can't believe it.

Well, I kinda can.

We've been putting up Christmas decorations around the house. I'm living in Christmas! I wish I could leave the stuff up all year 'round. LOVE IT!!!!

Now, there's something that happened a couple weeks ago that I keep forgetting to tell you guys.

It was a rainy Wednesday, and I had to go to my orthodontist for my braces. Well, Daddy came with me & Momma. After going for braces, we always go to the Aldi's that's on our way. I was crossing back into the parking lot after returning the cart, when something like a traffic jam happened. I half expected my parents to come pick me up at the front of the store, and they were, but a car raced in behind them, only to make a complete mess out of an ordinary situation. I realized that They'd have to go to clear it up, so I started running to the car. I was skidding in the puddles by the time I reached the car, I swung open the sliding door and was in my seat in what seemed seconds. To complete it, Daddy sped up as we headed out of the parking lot. Then he narrated: "And the red Dodge van made its getaway after she was escaping from the mad Dr. Grief." Such an Alex Rider moment. Now, when I think of Adli's, I think of Alex Rider.

Okay, I just HAD to tell you that story.

Not much crocheting going on, just a little bit more worked on that Granny Stripe and then I put it in a project bag. I pulled out some Christmas colors, and I'm now working on a bag that I had thought up.

I've been too busy with Christmas to take any pictures! Ha!

So, this post was to remind you that I'm still here, still crocheting. Next time, I PROMISE, I'll have pictures. See you then!

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!

Books & Gloves

As promised, here is the picture of the crochet books I got for Christmas...

I took a break from the dress 'cause I've obcessed with making gloves!

Here are some old pictures I found while cleaning off my desk...

And also found this! These are the 3D Glasses that I wore when Daddy & I went and saw VDT!

Anyway, last night, Momma and Daddy were talking on the phone about a trip....

WE ARE GOING TO D.C.!

I've been through D.C., but I've never accually been sightseeing! We're going to the Smithsonian Museums!!! EEK!!!

And I learned something from my Crochet Today! magazine...
There's a crochet coral reef exabit in the Natural History Museum! I showed the pictures to Momma & Daddy, and they're excited!!! Ekkk!

And we may just be doing it for my 13th B-day!! January 14! Yes, I'm 13! Ha ha! Besides the week we spent in Disney, this will probably be the BEST birthday!!! Yayy!!!!

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!

Merry Christmas!

No crocheting done lately, just alot of reading.

*Fairest; A Long Way From Chicago; James and the Giant Peach; The Winter of the Red Snow; King Arthur; The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle; The Red Badge of Courage*

I read the first four.

Just Daddy and Shug, chillin'.

And now, to conclude this Christmas-y post....

On the local news channel, they have this Facebook question of the day. Yesterday, it was:

"2010 is almost over. If you could start the year again, what would you change?"

And I commented:

"I wouldn't change a single thing.... even when I made mistake, I wouldn't do it over to get it right. If I didn't make the mistake, how would I learn?"

 ......

 

And they read my comment on TV!!!!

I was very happy! Ha ha!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Merry Christmas, Snoopy Style!

I love this song!
