OR BROTHER!!

Christmas Elves

This is my brother and me so states the creator of these darling little elves!!  Since the yellow one has a fatter face, I deemed that one was me and the one in blue, is of course my brother.  Get it - blue = boy!!

Are they darling or what?  They make up the Christmas Tree so much more festive!!  Thank you LuAnn!!

Slow Sunday Night Stitchin' . . .

A sweet friend of mine saw a gorgeous sweather on an email from this yarn shop we follow in New York City: Soho Yarns.  Well, she is a new knitter and thought it was beyond her ability so she emailed me and asked me if I thought one of the gals down at our local yarn shop would knit it for her if she paid them!!  I emailed her back and said: "I'll make it for you just for the pleasure of working with that gorgeous yarn!!"  So, she is letting me!!  YAY!!

Here is a picture of the sweater ~

Here is the yarn she chose (different from the yarn called for): Madelinetosh - Tosh Sport Yarn in Calligraphy ~

And this is how far I have completed - about 4".  What is so cool about this pattern is that there are NO seams!!  And, yup, the yarn has a wonderful hand and works up sooooo beautifully.  And the wooden needles are so fun to work with!!

I am linking up with Slow sunday Stitching over at Kathy's Quilts - go check out what everyone else is working on!!

Our Yearly Christmas Trek to Salt Lake City to See Temple Square Lights

Since moving to Logan 5 seasons ago, it has been a yearly tradition to go down to Salt Lake City to see the lights on Temple Square.  We go to dinner first and then go see the lights!!  Here is a little tour for you ~

It's Begining to Look a Lot Like Christmas . . .

My brother Kelly loves Christmas time.  Me not so much, but I am trying to be festive for his sake.  He has this darling little village ~

It looks so sweet at night with the lights on!!  Next, we are going to decorate the little Norfolk Pine tree that I have kept alive for the past 5 years.

Saturday's Smile!!
