For the Love of Sock Knitting

You may call me crazy, but I absolutely have fallen in love with 

knitting socks! I know, tedious, time consuming socks. 

And even more than that, I love wearing them.

A basic rib sock in the most yummy wool and bamboo blend yarn.

Abby wanted a sock in reds.....these are beautiful even though they

ended up having more pink than we thought.

Now we just need the weather to turn cold so she can wear her 

new socks.

My next pair is a 100% wool sock for my husband.

He wants a thin wool sock and hasn't been able to find what

he is looking for. Hopefully he will like these. 

Regia, snowflake yarn makes a beautiful sock

And so many more pairs of socks I plan to knit!

Christmas....Time to Decorate!

At my house we love decorating for Christmas!

 My teenagers are a great help in all of the decorating. I am
so lucky that they enjoy it. I am not able to go out and buy
new decorations to add to our collection every year like I
would love to do. So this year Abby and I got a little creative
in trying to add something new. We decided to use a roll of tulle
I had left over from making tutus, and all the lace remnants I could find
in my sewing room.

We love the look!

The tree is still waiting for the ruffled tree skirt I have in my head, but

haven't had anytime in my sewing room to make.  oohhh some day....

maybe, I hope!

The stocking project Abby and I worked on last year are

still a favorite hanging on the hearth.

We turn on the Christmas tee lights anytime we are in the living room! 

I could live with Christmas lights year around :)
