Did she do it?
Remember the scarf you saw pictures of last week? The one that looked like this
Friday morning at about 3am?
As of about 6 pm it looked like this
(three guesses what fiber is in the pink wool blend yarn)
And as of 10pm Friday night, it looked like this:
WHEW! She loved it, and looked adorable in the set, and even just bought a pink coat that they match perfectly!
GB bought me pajamas that had these on the pants:
and I was wearing them when we got a visit from a Christmas elf! It was Christmas morning, GB had gone to pick up DSS from his mom's and I was finishing last minute wrapping. I was feeling a little blue that the two gifts we'd ordered for my mother weeks before hadn't come yet, and was wrapping a tiny "IOU" gift for her. There was a knock at the door. When I opened it, someone wearing a USPS jacket handed me a box and turned and ran back to his mail truck before I could even say "Thank you." It was NOT my usual mailman, and I don't think I've ever seen him before. It wasn't until I'd closed the door that I realized that I'd just had mail hand-delivered on Christmas day... An elf, maybe?
And speaking of GB, here he is, with his son, and my grandmother, at my parents house.
DSS got a keyboard for Christmas, and here he is with my mother, trying to figure out how it works:
And the requisite shot of the Christmas tree, with my blurry brother in the background:
I got a lovely top from one grandmother, an adorable purse from my aunt, and lots of great books, but the highlight was a little family of gifts. This family, actually:
That's a Fricke ball winder from my illustrious brother, a drumcarder from my parents (delivered by my own personal Santa, Shelia's husband who was nearby on business, drove it to my parent's house, and called my father a nerd ((it's okay - he is)) all sitting nicely on a "fiber station" from GB (with a shot of the screwdriver that put it together). You can even see Fiona looking on in awe. Yes, technically it's a wine rack, but it's where my drumcarder and ballwinder will live, and with some minor adjustments, a lot of my knitting/spinning books will live on it too, with a drawer for tools. I love all three, and I'm so exciting, and I wish I was home playing with them right now!
If you were to nail me down to one gift only, it would be what I'm wearing today (again) - a necklace from my DSS with a pendant of a rose, which I'm told he earned by selling so well in his school fundraiser... of course, it hasn't been off my body long enough to take a picture of it (and I'll spare you a close up on my chest) so I'll try to get a good shot later this week if it photographs the details with all the shine...

It sounds like a fabulous holiday!
I'm jealous of the drum carder. What an honor that you DSS earned a necklace just to give to you - how sweet!
and aslan helped you to finish
that is very thoughtful of him!
hahahahaha
vi
ps: tell aslan his curly headed alter ego is feeling better
What thoughtful gifts! I am still holding out for a ball winder, but I am pretending that my mom was with it this year and only gifted things that could fit in a suitcase home. I hope you enjoy your fiber station! Happy Holidays!
Hey.
Great photos!! And all the Xmas goodies - fabulous stuff. You have big karma for attracting enablers. Do tell - how can I be more like you??!!
XOXO,
Marfa
