I finally took pictures! Here's the latest project! I think I'd like to sell this one.
It was quite complex, but fun to make.

That is absolutely beautiful!!!!

A lucky day for me! We were getting some things at Staples, and I saw a shelving unit I liked---four cubbyholes, with fabric bins in two of them. I had a coupon for !5% off, but they were out of stock and the coupon was good today only. On a whim, I went to the Christmas Tree Shop, because they sometimes have something similar. Would you believe it … they had the exact same item for less than half of what I would have paid at Staples! I'm glad Staples was out of stock! Of course I have to assemble it, but I think I can handle that. I want to store my yarn stash in it. I currently have my yarn dumped in a bin, and I hate digging through it to find what I want. The cubbyholes and bins will be just the thing, and will look tidier.

Nice find!!!

Wow!!!! That is really wild looking...like candy canes and those giant lollipops all put together. And like a little Christmas psychedelic action going on....All of a sudden I feel like listening to some Jefferson Airplane - white rabbit and Bing Crosby - white Christmas!!!

No seriously, I really do like it, a lot.

You know darn well that if you put it up for auction, I'm most likely am going to bid on it.....LOL!!!!

Don't have any Jefferson Airplane/Bing Crosby White Christmas, but there is Jingle Bells/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida romp. cheesy

Thanks!
I was good today, I stopped at one.
Last week I ended up dipping mini Hershey bars in to a jar of Skippy because that's all I had in the house. I was bad that day. Speaking of Skippy, they're coming out with a limited addition salted caramel PB. I need to find that!

Russell Stover has a new bunny this year, it comes with Skippy Peanut Butter to dip it in. I think the Easter Bunny is going to have to bring that for the boys on Easter.

It's supposed to look like peppermints. The designer devised the pattern so that the peppermints don't line up straight across---they're slightly rotated relative to each other. That's what makes it look psychedelic. And the method for intertwining the two colors is ingenious.

If I put it up for sale, you'll be among the first to know!

I thought it looked like Starlight mints.

Goodnight, HMG!!!!

Thanks, Xmas!!! She did make it there without any problems. Her friend met her at the interstate and just had her follow her back to her house so she wouldn't get lost

Glad to hear!

Hey, if anyone is interested, Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation is going to be on TV tonight - channel AMC @ 2am.....

xmas365 · Mar 21, 2015

Good evening,

It was a chore to stay up and post, I kept falling asleep, waking up, making a post and falling back to sleep. I finally caught a second wind when I went looking for the Jingle Bells/In A Gadda Da Vida song.

Dayoff tomorrow, it is also LC's big party. I am just glad to have finally made it to a dayoff. This was a very trying week, we never got behind, but I was training a newbie all week and out of routine by getting up extra early.

I am heading to bed, I can't make it any longer.

Goodnight, everyone.
