Guess it helps to actually WRITE in a blog, doesn't it. I blame the early morning!
So, it is the Monday before Christmas. Busy busy week! I can't believe how fast the time has flown this month! Knitting, cleaning, working, kids, rinse and repeat! I have been overwhelmed with knitting recently. Knitting some hats for Etsy, knitting Christmas gifts. I finally had to tell my dad that the present I wanted to make him got tossed to the back burner, and he'll get it after New Years. He seemed ok with that. I hope LOL! But I have 1.5 hats done for Etsy, hoping for another 1.5 before New years! And I just need another inch or two on my mother's pair of socks! My hands are starting to protest.
On a side note, the last two days I've had off (sat and sun) were spent cleaning, knitting, cleaning, knitting and wrapping presents. Granted, it only took about an hour to wrap them up, but I was also dividing the stocking candy stuffers into equal amounts and into cellophane bags. That probably took the most time, because the kids are all about equality LOL! "Mooooommmm he got more red kisses than i did!" etc, etc.
And I've been (trying) to clean out a corner in our garage for our new freezer! My parents bought us a freezer for a Christmas present! Thats actually one item we were saving for this year too, so yay! So exciting! But I never realized how much garbage type items get piled up in our garage over the course of a year. Its amazing. Like why in the world I was keeping my iHome box?! I don't know! I tossed it of course. But I uncovered a stash of shipping boxes that will be moved up into my closet for safe keeping. And a stash of scraps from other sewing projects from years gone. Going to sort thru those sometime after Christmas too. Oh the items that can be made with scraps!
On other news fronts, the store I was temping for during the holiday season asked me to stay on. Which is totally cool, but I would need to find a second job in order to get any sort of income worth living on. Oh well. Maybe gas station attendant? LOL! Eventually I'll figure that one out. Might have to go to the local yarn stores and start offering my sales assistance?... One can only hope!
Anyhoo, it is time for me to take off for work! Yay early AMs! I am one of the few that work there that enjoy early morning shifts. Everyone thinks i'm crazy, maybe I am, but the peace and quiet is so enjoyable!
If I dont make it on here prior to Sunday:
Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas! Mele Kalikimaka! Aloha!
ha ha breath girl breath...... and merry christmas to you. Just a thought but with all your craftiness you'd think that someone would notice your ad up on craig's list? (is that the american one?) seems odd you havent sold a masterpiece yet. You're awful talented. here in canada folks LOVE handmade pieces of anything (quilts / blankets etc) and will pay handsomely for it. just a thought in income generation.:D
