A little knitting

So I worked a little on non ornament knitting yesterday before heading to mom's for Thanksgiving dinner.

All dressed up for the holidays!

The only knitting I have been doing is ornaments for my tree. However they dress up the chessmen quite well!

Mitten, MItten, whose got the mitten?

I do, finally!  I have said every year that I want to knit mittens for myself.  This year I finally completed this task before winter really hits.  Now they just need a bath and block and they will be ready to go.

I am doing some other knitting for Christmas that I am not ready to share quite yet but I will soon!

Veteran's Day

Halloween

As many who have read my blog before knows I am not the biggest fan of Halloween.  While I love fall, not so much Halloween. I don't like to get scared for any reasons and I still believe there are monsters under the bed.  I liked Halloween as a kid, dressing up, trick or treating but since then not really.

Halloween hasn't been that positive of a day for me:
Six years ago on Halloween I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.
Five years ago I had my appendix out.
Today I had nine crowns put in  - which wasn't too bad. My mouth is sore but no real pain.

But this year I have sorta changed my attitude (slightly). I have a new friend that really loves Halloween and through their passion of the Halloween I no longer totally hate Halloween. In fact I sorta embraced it by knitting a pumpkin patch. 

This was a lot of fun and it was fun to share the pumpkins with my friends. (okay, some haven't gotten theirs yet but they will.)

One of those Days

While today is a beautiful sunny day, unfortunately it is very chilly.  But at least my front porch looks cute.

I love pumpkins on the front porch.  It makes me want to make some pumpkin spice coffee. But before I do I thought I should show you how my day is going.

Yes, that is one of my temps. I can't get into the dentist until tomorrow night.  Luckily I don't have any pain from it yet.  Well I am off to make some coffee.

Monday, October 24

Monday was a great day. I had a productive day at the gym and in the office.  We finished the day up with dinner with friends at our favorite place. 

It was a great night to eat outside before the weather changed to more fall like temperatures.  We enjoyed tacos and great conversation.  We headed home for homemade hot cocoa that was like drinking a liquid brownie.  So very yummy!!! 

I finished the socks I was working on for the last few weeks.

Now I am working on a few little knitted pumpkins for Halloween and the Thanksgiving. More pictures to follow.
