Hard not having the energy for sure. How wonderful for Heidi to finish up. That is so nice to feel done.

Can you send your blue skies this way! Thank you ahead of time. LOL

I have only bought yarn twice all year, for specific projects, so mine has dwindled quite a bit since January. I am down to a lot of yardage in limited colors in worsted, which creates a challenge, and now down to one small bag of sport and DK. I've got *thousands* of yards of lace weight, however, all in a tiny box. LOL

Wow, you are doing great!

I've just since the holidays become aware of vanilla bean paste and have started using it instead of the extract. Absolutely love the richness of the flavor it adds.

I think it was in an icecream that I used it- what ever it was it was superb!

5 45pm and I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day/boxing.

For the most part all went well here. Gage and Greg got into words and Greg left. Needless to say that I was in tears for the better part of the day. Just looking forward to bed now.

Hope Santa spoiled everyone rotten. 🎅🎁🎄

Santa did spoil me somewhat. DS gave me a hank of 4 strands of beads, rubies. Am already planning what to make with them. Definitely a bracelet for me, and maybe earrings, though I would need to get ears repierced to wear

What a lovely idea Julie. Never thought of that one.

It works well, and they last for ages!

I used be able to sleep standing up, literally, but not anymore, I still fall asleep fairly easily, it's the waking up several times during the night that was driving me crazy, so now I at least seem to sleep all night once I'm asleep.

So do we see a lot of lace designing in 2017 for you?

allergies in midwinter - what would they come from? --- sam

My winter sinus issues come from dust and dry air. I'm sure having the house closed up and the Boys' hair doesn't help either. I drink ginger lemon tea and that helps. I could use a humidifier, I'm sure.

That's great that you won't have to wait a super long time to get in for that, hopefully you'll hear from orthopedics soon after. Hopefully you'll get an all clear on your lungs.

Thanks Kaye Jo! That is what I am hoping,too.

Hi all, another lovely morning here. It's quite cool to begin the day, then it's nice and warm in the afternoon.
I didn't get any photos inside the yarn store, it's quite a small area within and not a huge amount of room.
It's like a cosy cottage. This would have to be the laziest holiday ever, we must really need to wind down.
Not admitting to getting older lol! just tired, although yesterday managed the stairs without puffing so that's a plus.
It takes a bit of getting used to the long twilight down here, it doesn't get dark until 10-10.30pm.

Bub's the same way. He falls asleep in seconds. I've never been able to do that.

Ooh, that sounds lovely, be sure to post us a picture when you get them made.

Nice long days, makes for good relaxation.

Well, I'm caught up here so I guess I'd better get my butt up and get around and something accomplished.
Have a great day everyone! See y'all later.

may we have a picture of said had? please. --- sam

I'll get one in a bit. Putting it on Lucinda (my styrofoam head) will actually help me see what the top truly looks like--hard to tell when one is wearing it!

I took down the tree (never really got it all the way up...) and put it back in the closet. I'd thought about getting rid of it but need the box for the lights and angel on top and so forth! So it'll stay there at least until I empty another storage container--I am not allowing myself to buy any more of those either! Then had to vacuum and sweep--the kitchen floor still needs mopping, and then to the workroom.
