I think you may be right!
I worked some on mine too last night. It's a pattern with a lot of front and back crosses, and has a panel of evergreen trees in the center. It's VERY thick and warm, and I'm about halfway through, so it keeps me warm as I work on it! Here's a detail from the pattern:

WOW! That is amazing MC!! Is that your afghan, or a picture from the pattern? I love it!! Can't wait to see it in full. Looks very warm!!! The afghan I'm making doesn't have nearly that much detail... you do awesome work!!

His phone interview went well ... it was to be about 15 minutes, but they talked to him for about half an hour. His interviewer was going to talk to some other people in the company to see if they wanted to talk to him in person, but there's been no word yet. However ... last week one of his temp agencies put him in for a temp-to-possible-perm contract. He had to go into Boston to test for it, and they were so impressed with his test that they called the agency a few hours later to say they wanted him. Pending some paperwork on the client's end, he should be starting in a couple weeks. After 15 months of day-here, day-there, no-work-today, a steady contract with the possibility of being hired is great news!

Afternoon all,
My two autumn houses have just arrived along with a vintage wooden rocking horse!
This is a photo of the horse. It's pretty big. I'm thinking about placing him near the Christmas tree. He looks a lot nicer in person. The details and wood carving is beautiful.

It's turned out to be a gorgeous winter day with clear blue skies and sunshine. I was tempted to go for a walk but work beckoned. Almost time to pick up my sons and then home to prepare dinner.

How beautiful Festive. I think that would look gorgeous near your Christmas tree. Enjoy!

That sounds so great ... room to spread out an entertain! We don't have a lot of entertaining space. Half our basement is storage; the other half is finished, and that's where we screen 16mm films for ourselves and occasionally for friends. Total seating is four! But we have a microwave oven and a small fridge down there, so we've had some nice small parties.

Sounds nice 'n cozy! I do wish we had more storage. There are pro's & con's to both more living space or more storage. In the basements our steps go down in nearly the middle of the basement. To the left is all living space: bar, big screen, couch, love seat, chairs. To the right is air hockey, darts, & foosball, & behind that is a wall with a door that leads to the furnace/storage room. When my entire family comes over (Mom, brothers, sisters, nieces/nephews, girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives + my great nieces & nephew) we have 50 people at our house. So the living space works nicely for that. When Jims entire family is over, we are with 20....and that is only going to grow as the nieces/nephews start bringing significant others (which 3 of them COULD start doing anytime by the way! :p)
 
Good Morning/Afternoon Christmas friends...Hope everyone is all well today...Another Dry/Chilly day here today..This morning in the car it was -6 Brrrrrrrrrr...Thats another working day done just 2 more working days till the weekend woo-hoo...Enjoy your day ahead christmas buddies:)
