My mom passed away Sunday evening around 6:15 PM.
I’m taking a few days away from my blog to get things settled.
Christmas Knitting…

Now it can all be shown – my daughter has had her Christmas presents opened since Christmas day – so, I can share the items I knit for her…
The cowl was knit with one skein Lion Brand Yarn called Amazing in the colorway Strawberry Fields.
Scarf was knit with 3 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn called Amazing in the colorway Cobblestones.
The afghan was knit with two skeins each of Simply Soft in Chocolate, Pistachio, and Bone. I started by knitting an entire skein of each. Then I knit six inches of each color and finally three inches of each color. Think it turned out really pretty.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,100 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 7 years to get that many views.

Here is the photo that was taken yesterday at the library ornament making party.
It was fun to make these lovely little ornaments…
Okay, so, I’m getting in the mood for Christmas – don’t faint!
Library…

We are very fortunate here in Claremont to have a wonderful library. Tonight they had a fun night where anyone who wanted to could come by and make an ornament…
I thought I would drop by – especially since I had a couple of books that were reserved and they came in.
So, I ended up making some pretty little pinecone ornaments. Just put some nice blue paint on the edges – and then sprinkled them with silver glitter!
Then I came home and spent a few hours knitting on my new afghan – got 24 rows done – which is an entire pattern…
Photos tomorrow…
Water … Ugh…

Killian, here…
Well, I’m not happy – not at all! Seems there is something called E-coli in the city’s water and I can’t drink out of the bathroom faucet…
Mom tried to explain it to me – but, I want my water.
She is busy boiling water – so, I’ll tell you good night for her… she’ll be back tomorrow.
