Almost an FO
before felting . . . looks sort of shapeless, or does it? Hubby said it looks like a bell to him. He’s a funny man, that one.
I am not getting much reading done while convalescing - I seem to fall asleep too often to make good sense of what I am reading.
BUT . . . I am getting a fair amount of knitting done and that is always fun. This purse is another project from the One Skein Wonders book.
So - did you get all of your Christmas knitting finished? You do know that the big day is tomorrow, right? Right!
Actually we are having the family exchange tonight - at youngest daughter’s house. Tomorrow I will post a picture of everyone in their new finery. At least, that is the plan . . . to have everyone pose for a group shot. But, best laid plans and all that - we are talking kiddos from the age of three to nearly 16, you know. Yeah, it’s the nearly 16 that will cause the ruckus . . . NOT! They are all good kids - but it is going to be a bit much, I’m thinking. However, that will not stop me from trying.
A friend of mine - we’ve known each other since 6th grade - wrote to ask me if I was planning to cook Christmas dinner. Actually, the way she said it was YOU’RE NOT GOING TO COOK, ARE YOU?!!! LOL. The answer is no, I’m not. The oldest daughter and her daughter and the next door neighbor are cooking dinner. Well, hubby is putting a ham into the oven, but everything else is being cooked offsite. Yay!
She would mother me if she were here, but we are separated by 3000 miles (a bazillion or so) miles. It is times like these that we wish we were closer.
But, I get to see her in March when hubby and granddaughter #1 and I fly out to Ohio for a visit.
Anyway . . . I need to get out of here and put some clothes on -get myself presentable for the family doings. Have a wonderful day with your families. And, don’t forget to come back for the family picture tomorrow.

[...] The bag, of course! I felted it up last weekend, but just put the finishing touches on it tonight. [...]
