Xmas Re-cap
This year our Christmas last four days- a family party on Saturday, xmas with the in-laws on Sunday, xmas with hubby and step-son on Monday and xmas day/b-day with my family on Tues. By last night we were wiped and ready to just sit at home and relax.
My felted bowls didn't go over as well as I had hoped. Ther person who first chose them in the gift exchange wasn't crafty and had no idea what they were. I traded for them when I got a chance and then traded them to hubby's grandma who knits herself. Next year I think a hat or scarf would go over much better.
I got some great gifts over the holidays/b-dayitting books, some yarn, Stitch N Bitch Calendar, a pink Nintendo DS with a game of French lessons and a series of aerobic/dance classes given by the 5th Avenue Theatre! Not to mention clothes, new sheets and comforter, wine and other great things. We are still going through everything.
I have short days at work this week which means knitting is in my future. Then this weekend we are off to another family visit and a hockey game!

We also got new sheets. I love bed stuff, but that's probably because the bed is my favorite place in the house (right up there with my comfy chair).
The thing about handmade things is that only people who can appreciate how long it takes to make them really appreciate them in their entirety. That doesn't mean they have to be knitters, some people just have it. Others don't, even though they knit. It's the weirdest thing.
