I've only managed to knit a few inches on it since the last time I showed you. Knitting has not been a priority on my list of things to do in December, though I do wish I had this vest finished so I could wear it. I could have used it several times already this season.
John gave me this funny little sheep the other day. I think he can sense that I need some cheering up. It's been gray and dreary here all week and some last week, too. I don't do well with gray and dreary, but the weatherman promises a bit of sunshine today, so things are looking up.
Next week we'll be hanging out at the travel trailer in Matagorda. Christmas dinner might very well be grilled trout or redfish or if we're really lucky, flounder.Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
That sounds like a fabulous way to spend Christmas!! Merry Christmas, my friend.
ReplyDeleteJohn has great taste: the sheep is darling.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, when the sun reappears and the temperatures increase, the blahs will retreat.
Have a wonderful time at your camp. Merry Christmas
The sheep is super cute. John should share with us where he got it. I don't collect enough stuff as it is. lol!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a Merry Christmas!
That sheep is ADORABLE! I'll think of you as we're being pounded by snow. lol. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteWhat popped into my head when I saw the sheep was "Ewe's not fat, ewe's fluffy!"
ReplyDeleteMatagorda will definitely help chase the blues away. From what little I know (read?) you seem happiest at the water.
Enjoy!
I can't wait to see "Christmas at Matagorda" pictures. Are your kids coming out too?
ReplyDeleteAwww, the little sheep is just too cute! I'm sure some time at the beach will serve to lift your spirits!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little sheep. I wonder who makes it?
ReplyDeleteSounds like your Christmas will be fantastic. Enjoy!!!
I'm glad you included a close-up of the sheep - at first I thought it was some kind of interesting shell.
ReplyDeleteYour knitting looks beautiful on its Brittany needle. So calm, so serene, so classy!
The sheep is adorable!
ReplyDeleteChristmas plans sound lovely. We used to sometimes go to a cabin at the beach for Christmas.
Lovely sheep!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the blue of your yarns!!
It's like the sky in these days... blue and fortunately and finally sunny!!
Merry Christmas also to you!!!
We were talking about grilling Christmas dinner as well. But ours will be steak. The forecast at this point is sunny and 51 on the 25th (December in Northern Colorado?!)
ReplyDeletecute sheep. I hope you have a very enjoyable Christmas. Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThe sheep must be doing the job he's so sweet. If I wasn't going to have my dinner on base we'd end up with a BBQ
ReplyDeleteCan you share where he got your sheep? It is just so cute! It would definitely cheer me up if I was blue.
ReplyDeleteYou Christmas dinner plans sound delicious! Have a wonderful time Tracy!
Its going to be beautiful though... love that color!
ReplyDeleteIsn't great when a loved one gives you a spontaneous gift, the sun doesn't even have to be out when the warmth of someone brightens your day by a thoughtful gesture. It sounds like you'll have some time to knit on your vest when you retreat to your travel trailer. I look forward to seeing your vest.
ReplyDeleteI love the sheep!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some sunshine too. I don't do well with dreary either. It makes me blue. Enjoy your Christmas dinner, it sounds just perfect!
Traci, thanks for gettng back to me on the little ewe. Appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteIt is so funny to think of you on the beach when we are shoveling out..LOL! Enjoy your Chrismtas holiday and I hope you get to work on your vest:-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Good fishing!
