The Holiday Season Begins

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a nice time at my in-law's. There was a full spread with both Turkey and Tofurky.

If you couldn't tell from the last post...I've given up on my novel. I made it close to 25,000 words, but began falling short. We'll be moving, so I've been busy sorting and purging. My eight year old's room has so much space now. He and I don't like it simply because it doesn't feel like his room any longer. Sadly, my son has been sick all day with a stomach bug. I'm hoping his stomach has calmed down, but we'll see.

Ok, enough with the yucky stuff...There have been lots of fun sales and knitting patterns released.

Most of the projects are crochet based, but check out the 4th Annual Mega Sales Event: More Info. I actually looked at every designer's Ravelry page and patterns. The discount varies based on what each designer chooses. I did buy a few patterns that I'm super excited.

The Fibre Muse Quarterly is out now too! Here is where you can buy a copy. Here is a link to Ravelry where you find a few of the patterns listed: Giver. It was such a nice surprise when that arrived in my e-mail. There  is a pattern that I'd lake to make for my sister-in-law. I've struggled to find something I really like. I found one thing that I think is awesome and then I struggled with choosing yarn. Maybe I'll try to get a couple things going and see what works.

Here is my hat from the Giver challenge that Aroha knits did this week. I love the blue beads.
I was able to do the finishing on several old projects to donate and those have been turned in. This hat might join them. I do love it...choices :).

With the impending move and the fact that we have no real decorations I'm hoping to make some home decor items for the new place. I have some ideas as to how to add color. I ordered some IKEA rugs for our new space. Lot's of neutral colors so some throw pillows, wall decor, and table decorations could help. Here are the rugs I've chosen for the living room and dining area. These are IKEA's images.

I definitely have a good size stash of many colors to make lovely things. I'm thinking of using some spilled Perler beads with neutral tones in the background. Something geometric?...so many ideas.

Have a great week!
