I know I have been a lazy blogger. I swear this has been the grayest, wettest December EVER and maybe that is what is making me want to do nothing but read and knit. I have done a fair bit of both, well maybe more reading than knitting. The only knitting progress I have to show is the finished first sock and a good 40% on the second sock.
I have finished several books in the last month. At the moment I have picked back up where I left off on Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. I just finished book #3 Voyager and started #4 Drums of Autumn. I have never been into this type of book before. I guess you would call it a cross between and adventure story and a romance? They are pretty good, if you don’t mind a series that has so far 7 books of 900-1000 pages each.
There has been some Christmas baking going on here too. We have a few traditional ones we love to do every year and the children have taken it on the last few years. They seem to enjoy making them almost as much as eating them.
We also relented and put the presents out early this year. We usually wait until Christmas Eve so that they don’t get pawed over but space is limited and for want of anywhere else to stash them, we put them under the tree.
More decking of the halls went on, literally. LOL!
Lovely socks, tree, hall decorations, etc. I remember when my girls used to string lights all over the place like that!
Thanks Carla. I am glad they enjoy doing it since I would probably skip it if it was up to me. I enjoy them if someone else does the work though. ;-)
Sock knitting, Christmas cookies, and Christmas lights – this post is full of wonderful stuff! :)
:-) thank you
