Excuses

I've been sick all week. All week...as in lay on the couch and sleep all day sick. I haven't gotten much done. Monday I managed to go to my Girl Scout meeting. My best friend (Angie) left for London-yes London!!!-on Wednesday, so Tuesday we cooked for her and her family. Other than that, I've done nothing.

I have managed to work on the shawl some. While I've found knitting super easy, it's take a lot longer than I had planned. It's almost there though! I'm in love with Lion Brand homespun thread! It's sooo soft and comfy! Seriously-lovin it!

As promised here are the hair bows I made for my nieces. Keep in mind, my youngest niece wanted "MeMouse" bows. She is absolutely in LOVE with Minnie Mouse. She wanted bows "just like MeMouse!"

Her older sister is a bit of a tomboy but I didn't want little sis to get bows and her get nothing. So, I made her some understated bows.

These two were for the tomboy in the family.

And the Minnie Mouse Bows

There you have it! I have another niece I'm hoping to do some for, shhhh-they're for Christmas!



With the holidays knocking at the door (yikes-Thanksgiving snuck up on me!), I'll have plenty of projects to post! This year instead of baking, I'm doing different kinds of chocolates and other goodies!

Hopefully, I'll start to feel better and I'll do a day by day walk through of my holiday season. There's nothing I love more than Christmas-I make it last from the week of Thanksgiving until January 2nd.
