Hope you all had a merry Christmas. We started it with severe thunderstorms and ended it like this. Yeah, this is Texas and we like to have all the weather in one week. (It was in the high 70's just last week...)
The WIPs are a pair of boot toppers. Just making it up as I go. I did write the pattern down so that I can make more if needed.
And I'm also working on some fingerless mitts. I ran across this unfinished sock top in my stash
and I think they were never finished because I hadn't been using sock yarn, so I decided to make them in to fingerless mitts. One down and one to go. I wrote a pattern down for this one too. I haven't even taken care of the yarn tails.
Jeff got a cat, one for his house.
He has one here, but Gracie still thinks of him as the evil guy who plucked her from a tree 3 years ago and forced her to live with us. He hasn't named her yet. She was rescued by a friend's family and when she went out to Lubbock last weekend she brought the cat back for Jeff. Does that make her a double rescue? I'm sure they were not cruel or anything, but it's good to know your limits and if you can't keep a pet, then find a good home for it. Notice she doesn't have a right back leg. Pobracita! She'll have a good home at Jeff's.
No huge plans for New Year's Eve. Mike and Dawn want to have a Bourbon Tasting. I'M IN! I have yet to try out my Chocolate Martini Mix that I picked up at a friend's Chocolate Party.
Hope it doesn't taste like Chocolate Milk of Magnesia. I made a batch of Coquito... Dawn and I can just sit around sipping on that and we'll be happy.

Those boot toppers are cute! What a great idea to turn in-progress socks into fingerless mits. I have a pair of socks I started months ago and I'm not sure now that I really want them as socks. Fingerless mits might be a great solution! Cute kitty...so sad to see it's missing part of it's leg. But, it looks like it doesn't mind much. Enjoy your new year's eve. And, best wishes for a wonderful 2013!
Thanks Cheryl, same to you guys!
What in the world was that in your yard? White stuff on your neck of the woods? Christmas miracle or curse?
Lucky kitty to find a good home, maybe Tripod?
Love the WIP's, I'm working on a blanket for the twins :)
I know... I really don't like the white stuff unless I'm going skiing and then it needs to stay on the slopes. We don't have anymore snow storms then we used to (20 years ago) but they do seem to be dumping more snow than they did back in the day. I'm done, ready for summer!
