You KNOW I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. I read a horrible statistic last night that cancer occurrences will increase 57% within the next few years! That is SO scary! I pray I never have to go through it again!

Thank you. I continue to think of you and pray for you. That is so scary!!!!

Hubby has done all the measurements for the remodeled kitchen/den and has decided that we have to get a 70-inch screen to be able to see it in the new area! He already has it picked out!

Fun!!!

Can't wait to see the end product. I immediately saved this Yule Tree pattern. My crocheting is curtailed somewhat until we finish with the remodeling. We had to store so much stuff!

We had about 8 or 9 inches of snow yesterday. Our driveway was plowed out, but the town plow came by last night and left a ridge across the bottom of our driveway that we had to shovel out this morning. And once we got the snow off our cars, we had to shovel out around them. On the bright side, the snow is picturesque today because the sun is out and there's blue in the sky. They're calling for at least a little snow Sunday night, and maybe another storm next week. Enough already.

I finished that Aran Hearts afghan just before bed yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to take a picture yet. It came out well! At least the pattern pains don't show. Next I'm going to try a Yule Tree pillow pattern. If that goes well, I'll make the afghan as well.

How are the other afghans-in-progress coming, fellow crocheters?

I love the tree pillow!!

I'm looking forward to trying out the pattern!

Hmm ... if it goes well, maybe I'll make another one to sell/auction for Santa's Sleigh ...

Towels aren't bad!

I like to play Christmas music while I fold laundry. It's a good incentive!

Seawaters · Feb 6, 2014

That is an excellent idea!

I do that during the holidays. I hate folding!

It would be a less expensive option that more folks could get in on. Afghans are a little out of reach of some members.

I LOVE that story! So sweet!

I am sitting here watching some DVR'd shows, folding laundry, and catching up on my magazines. I was just reading the latest HGTV issue, and they have an article on how towns got their unique names.

One of them is Santa Claus, IN!
It reads "It's been Christmas in this town since the early 1850's, when a gust of wind blew open church doors during a Christmas Eve meeting to name the town. Understandably, the children believed it was Santa Claus..."

How cool is that?! LOVE it!

Went out to get the mail and discovered a 3 foot pile of snow at the end of the sidewalk. I'm so going to beat up the maintenance man that next time I see him.
