SNOW SNOW and MORE SNOW!!!!!!

We are having our 2ND MAJOR snowstorm in as many weeks! I cannot believe it. We have not fixed the damage from the first storm yet. They are saying we are going to get 11 plus inches of snow by the time it starts snow...and guess what.... another storm is on the way for Sunday...then guess what...another storm for Wednesday, Christmas Eve!!


NOTHING LIKE THE WARM LIGHTS OF A CHRISTMAS TREE DURING THE SNOW!

Okay, Okay...I know you are saying that I keep saying that I love snow. I do. I think it is beautiful and as a knitting, it gives my knitting purpose and life (as we speak my hats are being put to good use!). I like it even more because the bees go away (I know... I have a serious bee phobia).
My oldest son Justin and his friend Alex on on route to New Jersey. They have been travelling since 11am this morning from Amherst Ma. As of an hour ago they were still about 1 and 1/2 hours out, driving at a normal pace (65 or 70)...they are driving 25 miles per hour! I hope they get to Jersey before Christmas!!! Justin has to be back in Massachusetts by Monday for work! Anyone feel like saying a prayer to Mother Nature to give us a little reprieve?



STORM #2 AND STILL SNOWING!



Well, on the knitting front, yesterday I delivered the first of the knitted gifts and they were received with great appreciation and thanks. It warms my heart to know that someone is enjoying the fruits of my labor (passion, obsession, addiction..use whatever adjective here you like).



HAND PAINTED ORNAMENTS FOR 2008!


I am still working on some special orders...they are almost there. I still have 2 other items to create for Christmas... I am running this down to the wire this year.
May the knitting gods be with me!



FELTED PURSE NOT YET FELTED HANDLES YET TO BE KNIT




FELTED PURSE NOT YET KNIT NOT YET FELTED HANDLES STILL TO BE KNIT (I WONDER IF THIS IS WHAT THE ELVES FEEL LIKE ON DECEMBER 23rd?)

Today was the last day of school until January 5Th! All the kids are excited! Hopefully it will be a great vacation.

While I am working on the last of my projects to complete before Christmas, I am thinking about what I am going to make for next year. I am hoping to start some of the gifts for next year right after the holiday. Some of them contain a learning curve for me because I also have made a list of the things (knitterly things) that I would like to learn in 2009. This year it was cables and now I just love cables!
Next year I think it might be fingerless gloves and socks.

For those of you who don't knit or craft, I am taking special orders, please email me at jojo01237@verizon.net and let me know what you are looking for. After the holidays, I will be posting the items that I can offer for sale. Of course you can also check out my shelf (all be it bare right now) at Lanesboro Junction. I might even take special orders for Christmas but orders may need to be in by September in order to have them all done by the holiday.

Well I am off to knit. Enjoy the storm if you are here in the North East, if not be thankful for your nice weather!

Craft On!
