Christmas projects

I haven't been knitting much I can seem to only squeeze in an hour or so a day. And belive it or not that actually gets alot done. But Still....my poncho I am making isnt done like i had hoped. But its getting there. My camera is MIA but i do have a picture from 2 weeks ago.
It looks so pretty in person. And it has a nice stretch to it that is going to make is so comfortable to wear. I can only work on it when Shadow doesnt see me pull it out of my basket. I think he gets jelous. He always climbs in my lab and trys to get me to stop knitting....Kinda like this.

Isnt He Cute? I am also trying to get 2 baby blankets put together For 2 of my friends back home having babies. I think they might get them a little past due dates cause im trying to get christmas gifts done. One is a blanket for my Mom-in-Law( I hope she isnt reading)But its a quilt top I made for Last Birthday (in Jan)Then my Sewing Machine quit working and my new one isnt big enough to quilt it so im trying to Yarn quilt it. And when you have a pain-in-the-butt cat like mine it makes it complicated. I woke up like 3 times last night just to find him unrolling my yarn! I would pick it up and put it up then find him playing with again. Well Its Friday so i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Christmas Time is HERE!!

My Christmas Tree this year. I just had to post to show how pretty. And If you look close at the bottom you can see the kids helped decorate it.(With 5 things per branch) But it is lovely and the kind of tree i always dreamed having as a kid. Havent blogged in a while my DH had the whole last week of Nov off. And the greatest Christmas news !!!! We might be able to visit Tenn. for Christmas!! A good friend of the family knows it has been like 3 years since we have been home. And she wants to give us Family for christmas. She is also the one who did it 3 years ago for christmas. Wow, 3 years since we have been in Tenn. Where does all the time go? But anyway now we just have to wait and see if Hubby can get a couple extra days off since his leave doesnt start till 10 am christmas eve. He is going to see if he can have it off so we get a head start and can wake up there christmas morn. Just the idea of it is the greatest gift we have had in three years. It excites us beond words. .....

Oh I also wanted to post about these.

I saw an artical about making snowglobes. I had to try. It was so simple I want to make more. The kids were so excited to make their own globes. Not to mention they turned out just down right cute!
