i guess i was a good girl this year. or perhaps santa had pity for me.
now i have a big frying pan. it's hard to cook for five in an 8" pan.
my kettle lost it's whistle, and i mentioned to mom that i wished i had a new tea kettle.
i discovered the gurgling fish pot earlier this year. i thought it would look cute on my end table, as i drink a lot of water. and yes, it really does gurgle!
surprise from mom! she got this at country cupboard. that's what i love about my mom. she didn't even know i wanted a beaded bracelet. she picked birthstone beads for my kids, a rose for SAI, an owl becos i like them, a yin yang, a cross (strange bedfellows are those two last beads), a flower bead for my "daisy" and "mom". gorgeous.
the irony was that i had hinted to hubby about a troll bead bracelet. he saw commercials on tv for pandora beads and was going to design a bracelet except he couldn't get an initial bead for petunia, so didn't buy the bracelet. the funny thing was when i opened it up i caught hubby's look - he looked grim - and i was afraid he'd gotten me one too. i called him on it late christmas eve - he said that he was disappointed becos he wanted the same reaction from me when he'd give me one someday! poor boy.
the bracelet's a bit tight. i have to exchange it for a chain a size bigger.
books from hubby and my ILs.
knitting books from hubby and my ILs.
when i read through sock yarn one skein wonders, i practically peed my pants. these books gave me so much inspiration, i wanted to cast on about a dozen projects! all in due time...
no more unwinding hanks on the back of a chair or my knees - i got a swift!
which was put to prompt use for winding this:
malabrigo in ravelry red
tosh fingerling in cedar
tosh fingering in clematis
tosh vintage in fjord (which looks identical to "cedar")
not quite a surprise but hubby took my hint well
signature DPNs!
just in time for PSOTMC 2011!
i also got enough money that, when combined with hubby's holiday cash, we can buy the microwave stand for the kitchen and replace our old cabinet.
i am extremely grateful for all we received this year. we really have been blessed. i've been blessed - with loving parents, in laws and especially my husband.
each christmas, it seems, just gets better and better every year.
