Day 114.........stocking number 3 done.

Day 114.........stocking number 3 done.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Well, I only have one stocking to go......and it's for me so if it doesn't materialize, it'll be okay. I may actually do another two because nest year Bill will need one. The third stocking is smaller and neater than the first two-go figure.
Practice, practice, practice.

I actually relaxed into the third one, Charlene Scott and I imagine that is how you feel all the time, when you crochet, so who knows....perhaps I'll step up the crochet action in 2015. My fingers are beginning to find their groove and assuming positions that my 'Crochet-master' at Pink and Green showed me months ago. At the time, I didn't want to unlearn the way I did my crochet but making these little items, I find that I have to hold them differently and use my left hand more.

Not sure if I'll do one today but probably not because I need daylight and we are going out shopping....again, this afternoon, once Ali gets home from her very first Canadian sleepover.
She had a great last day of school and came home with some lovely presents from her new friends. She gave some pretty decent ones to them, too. She had a very small power-nap between school and work and a quick pizza, after work, before heading along a few subway stops, to her friends.
Jen and I had spent the day doing crafty stuff and I will post the fabulous stuff that Jen has made. My crochet pales into the background against her skills. The table is invisible under the heaps of materials but we'll have it cleared by Christmas.
I continue to make and send my 'etch-a-sketch' cards so, if you want one, let me know because otherwise you are unlikely to get one. I will be making and posting a general one for Christmas day, to go with my blog. Yes, there will be a blog on Christmas day.
Jen and I had planned to watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' last night but couldn't find it on tv until Dec 24th. That'll do nicely, thank you. Instead we watched a couple of 'B' movies, the first of which was very cute and fun and made us smile. The second one found me falling asleep and wishing that it would move along a bit faster. Jen was unimpressed by it also.
It's -4 outside and it looks very frosty....Brrr.
I hope this finds you all safe, happy and warm.
Much Love,
