Christmas Card Countdown

Slow mail day today…

Number Received, Year to Date:  67

(“Moms” week at church tonight, so I’ll probably come with some more cards.  If so, I’ll update later.)

[Promised "post-church" update:  Total is now 70 cards.  Wish I could scan in some of these pictures.  The picture of Genna on Bruce & BeanHead's card is just classic!]

OOPS!

05 Dec OOPS Hat 00105 Dec OOPS Hat 002 Well, this hat started out to be the hat for DeShaun. Then, I got the “brilliant” idea of doing a chevron cable pattern.  Well, as you can see, that idea wasn’t quite as brilliant as I orginally thought.  The cables made it pull in so much that it became a (slightly too big) hat for Thing Two’s doll, Baby Erica (really, she named it on her own!).  Back to the drawing board, with less than five hours before the hat has to be ready.

P.S.  See the size of that doll?  That’s basically the size Paul was….

Did It!

05 Dec 127 Print Scarf Yes, the insane knitting lady frogged it almost completely, took an inch off the width, then re-knit the scarf.  All I have to do is weave in the ends, then stick a fork in it b/c it’s done.  Finally.  Time to move on…

Christmas Card Countdown

Mailed off a big batch today.  I think it’s the last of them, but I do have five sitting here on the desk whose addresses I’m still trying to acquire.

Got a big batch of cards in the mail today, so, Don Pardo, please give us the new total received…

Well, Erica, to date this year, we’ve received 62 cards and one “e-card” that was really just a photo attached to an email.  I must say, though, that Claire’s daughter looks JUST like her.  (Noelle, did you see that?  Let me know if I should forward the email to you.)

Leah, that was a nice touch, addressing the card to “Erica, Hubby, Things”.
