Home now brewing some cinnamon orange tea & ready to snuggle down to a murder mystery & knitting!

Thank you so much!

The mittens are my new favorite!!! Now I need a colorwork hat & cowl made with the rest of the Advent ☺️ Stay warm & cozy Dorothy

I'm so glad, you'll have to tell me what you choose first!

Welcome aboard Evie, let's get those projects done! Enjoy searching in those project bags 😀

I got back to baking for New Year's since both my guys were sick over Christmas but I agree! I missed not having my Santa plate full of sugar cookies under the tree this year.

Right?! I am in love with this color!

Great! Can't wait to see your sweater. I am trying to finish the mitts this weekend before our next freeze 🙄☺️

Who says I am not struggling Dorothy 🙄 I have had to snooze quite a few and prioritize which ones I need 1st. Believe it or not I used to be a monogamous crocheter.

Me too, Happy New Year!

Welcome aboard Heather! and the orange is amazing, so excited!

That's great Nancy! It's going to be fun ☺️

It is! Mandy is already plotting her Advent for next year ☺️ We had a quiet Christmas but nice, I hope you & your family had a good one Loraine.

Merry Christmas to both of you too

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours too!🎄🎄🎄

Thank you! It was unexpected & I am happy to share it!

I moved a lot as a kid but we have been here most of our marriage. This kitchen has had a lot of color changes to get to this one & now I am with you this will be it!

It really does make the holidays feel more special, doesn't it? I bought some cinnamon & want to make some cinnamon ornaments tonight 😀

I hope so Jane it looks so amazing! I love the mountains and would love to experience all that I have read about!

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! They are both so cool!

Thanks so much and I will definitely be doing more vicarious travel with you!

Mandy has given me so many places I need to put on my bucket list! Isn't my boy a natural ❤️

I know right? They are so soft! She was great!

Thank you so much! I treated myself to a Fiber optic tree so no lights to string. ☺️

☺️🤣 I may have to travel vicariously with you too. Saving up right now to take Seaver on a cruise for his belated college graduation present.

May be cheaper to fly 😦 to Shetland

@ let me know if you are flying across from Ireland or taking the boat, I’ll pick you up 😘 will even throw in a train ride on the forth bridge, I’m hoping it’s the rail and not the road as that’s shut to the public unless you’re in a taxi or bus 🤣🤣 xx

@@aryabarkpodcast I have come to the conclusion I need left side driving lessons before I ever come to the UK because there is no getting out of it 🤣 let's see 8 hours to drive & ferry or 23 hours by fastest train 🤔

@ don’t worry about your travel costs on your virtual visit I’ve took time off to drive you we can hit some yarn shops on the way plus there is better views by road 🫢🤣 xxx

It's training me Brenda, of course I bought the cheapest one on black Friday 6 years ago so doesn't even attach to the app anymore only a remote to control him ( I think he disconnected himself)

Ours is Robby & I couldn't resist giving him eyes but he has been worse since I did that! Last week I was using a back scratcher to get him out from under the couch & he grabbed it while I was getting up & took it under the couch with him & left it! I was soooo mad 🤣🤣🤣

Don't worry Mandy I felt loved that you sent me a piece of yourself 🤣

@belindasbaubles 😂😂😂

She released the pattern while she was at Rhinebeck so the end of October. I love the pattern and definitely recommend it. It's called The About Time Tee on Ravelry

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it - I was mesmerized by the drone lights!

I don't know I haven't seen your husband but I am guessing he would take you across if you wanted 🤣 you are more than welcome to have coffee with me & Mandy though & listen in on all the stories of how long the wait was to cross both ways 🤣🤣🤣 My only issue with the cake was there was a lot of dry cake mix on the bottom, next time I am going to mix the dry with the milk then layer the rest. No one complained though...

I agree, I wish I could have included the crowds clapping & cheering but the music was so loud where we were standing.

With my fear of heights I am not going close no matter who says it's not scary 🤣🤣 I will enjoy the view from the coffee shop at the road.

@belindasbaubles I'll join you! My grandfather was a trapeze artist in his youth, the gene skipped way past me!

@MousesMakes Perfect! I need to hear the story of your grandfather sometimes though, you can tell me over coffee 🤣

Yes definitely!

Thanks Karen, I have to find fun where where I can ☺️ I hope your computer hold up tomorrow!

I wouldn't know I haven't started that one yet 😂 Thanks for an amazing event, I haven't laughed so much in years.

@belindasbaubles It's my pleasure! 🫶❤️🫶

Thanks, it amazes me the colors that are possible in nature! Ziva is my little shadow these days, I can't get anything done without her!

Yes it was a self striping Musselburgh that I finally got back from Seaver after I made him one of his own 🤣 I was a double chocolate chip muffin (I ate my lunch at break time so escaped for coffee house knitting at lunchtime 😉)

Was it Dolly? I just watched it last night when it was on NBC but can't remember myself ☺️ The artistry is amazing!

Thanks so much Evie, I would love to visit Great Britain someday myself. I am betting your daughter had an amazing time with her family. I am enjoying the mittens so much. Are you working on anything adventwise?

@ No I’m delaying mine til after Christmas and all the shopping, cooking, cleaning and decorating is done and I can actually enjoy it. Saving Christmas movies for them too!! 😁

@EvieO1950 sounds like a great plan!

She was tired of me ignoring her while I was editing ... 😂 I had just finished when she started up & of course had to add her on 😂😂😂

Honestly, but I LOVE my peppermint mocha! The pompom was a definite splurge (don't tell Sam) and soooo worth it! I need to make some more hats since our weather turned rapidly & I am wearing them more this year than the past 5 years combined. Mandy's yarns are amazing, she always surprises me by what catches her eye & then shares her vision with us. I need to play some more with my dye kit but I am surrounded by so many amazing dyers...

My aunt always had a "Texas" tree so this one caught my eye ☺️ All I am doing anymore is. 4' tree otherwise I still have it up for Christmas in July 😂

Thank you! I need to figure out where you are taking us. 😉

It is! I will try to add the angel onto today's video it was hard to record him because he was soooo tall & facing the nativity. The only thing that has stayed the same for over 20 years is they carve the nativity every year.

I love my hat & the pompom was a definite splurge 😉 I was thinking yesterday I need another!

Thanks Evie! I have been loving having the truck in the parking lot at work. ☺️ I treat myself once a week
