The Winter Solstice is here, so I thought I would share some links about it. This will be my last post before Christmas, so I wish you all a very blessed holiday season. Hope everyone gets what they wanted! Peace, S

Winter Wishes
Oh tomorrow night we will have so much fun! Tomorrow night we will have so much fun! Because tomorrow night we get to give and receive gifts from our secret Santa’s!
In other news, the lovely purse that I made for Kevin’s sister? I’m keeping it for myself. How selfish of me, right? But see, I didn’t know what to make for his mom or his other sister or his sister in law. And since time is limited, I opted to go with a different gift. Each one of them is receiving a set of three bracelets, made by a friend of my aunt. I hope that they like them.
Speaking of gifts, Kevin’s present is on its way to my house – he already knows what it is, so I can tell you guys. It’s a humidor.
So, since I’m not making anything for the Fisher ladies, my X-mas knitting list is rather short, and I may actually be able to finish everything! I’m knitting a hat for Kevin’s best friend, a baby hat and maybe some booties and/or mittens for a coworker’s new baby, and two scarves for my aunt and another coworker. Although, I may just give Sarah the yarn and needles to make the scarf herself – she’s a knitter in a very loose sense – I mean she has completed several things, including a felted cat bed, but she isn’t really, a, well, Knitter. So what better way to suck her back in than to gift her with some truly yummy yarn and needles?
The yarn I picked up for her is Mountain Colors Twizzle.
Here is a picture from the net. I am not sure if this is the same color, although it looks like it. Yummy isn't it?
The scarf yarn for my aunt is not so yummy. It’s Fun Fur. Yes, that Fun Fur. I don’t mind this stuff, it does make a soft scarf, and it’s what I used in some of my first scarves, but I guess I’ve turned into a bit of a yarn snob. Oh well.
That’s all I’ve got folks. See you guys Wednesday!
PS One of my very dear patrons, Jimmie, is in the hospital. I love this woman, she’s like a grandma to me, so if you guys could send some good thoughts her way, that would be awesome. Peace and bright blessings. -S
Do you like my song? I made it up just for the occasion. I am so excited! I have no idea who my secret Santa is, so I can’t wait to find out!

And as for his brother and brothers in law and his dad? They get nothin’. Because how many guys do you know who would like a handmade craft for Christmas? And I don’t know them that well and so I have no clue what they would like.
Speaking of gifts, Kevin’s present is on its way to my house – he already knows what it is, so I can tell you guys. It’s a humidor. He picked it out himself, so he better like it! Also, I will probably get him a little something else, since I sort of owe him a belated birthday present. Yes, I was a bad girlfriend. I didn’t get my boyfriend a damn thing for his birthday. Well, he did get something, but I shan’t discuss that in polite company (snicker, snort)

Short and Sweet
Thanksgiving was lovely. Christmas needs to be further away. I finished a lovely felted bag for Kevin's sister last night. So, that's one present down, another dozen or so to go. Yippee! Aren't the holidays fun!
All my neighbors have lights and decorations up. We have one sad little tree. I am going to try and do more this week. Seriously, we look like the grinch house.
Brownie meeting last night - all went well. The girls made snowglobes out of baby food jars. Too cute. Next month - cookie sales! Someone please restrain me from buying more cookies than we can fit in the house...
Peace.
