Getting Ready For Christmas
Okay, so we are officially into the Christmas season and I am not ready! I am working on my presents that I had planned on giving, but am I really going to get them done? You tell me. These are what I have going (or as you will see, not going): Kaylee's sweater (I need to do the sleeves and them put it together), Faith's purse (I am 1/2 way done), Tia's scarf (haven't started it yet), Todd's cap (haven't started it yet), Cindy's purse (haven't started it yet), secret pal's slippers (I have 1/2 a sole done), Two doilies for my sister Charlotte (not started yet). I know, I am doomed! All these projects sounded good back 6 months ago. Where did all the time slip off to? At least it is obvious that Kaylee, Faith and probably Tia will get their gifts. I am thinking that I will have to go to plan B for the others. Heh, they have birthdays, I can give their gifts to them then, or next Christmas is still available. See there is always options.
The truth be known, I work well under pressure and usually can pull things together, but I didn't realize that with my son and his family moving in with me that I would not have the time to put towards knitting. After all, my grandbabies want my attention and I just can't ignore them. And Kaylee, my granddaughter, just hasn't gotten the hang of not taking my knitting and running off with it. She thinks it is a game and wants to be involved in whatever I am doing. And let's face it, by the time her bedtime rolls around (9pm) I am too tired to pick up my knitting. Heh, I just thought of another option.......I could put a picture of what they were suppose to get and wrap that up with a note of the expected finished date. Creative don't you think? Okay I hear and see all of my CHAMPS gals laughing and rolling their eyes. I do like to entertain. (ha, ha)
Anybody want to place a friendly wager on whether I get any of them finished? Come on, I love a challenge.

ok, with several adults and a few kids who have no time to knit?
ha! try 6 kids! why do you think i bought so much stuuf blackfriday?
I'll take that bet. I'll bet you a lunch at Pluto's that you get a minimum of 5 projects done. And if you don't want lunch, maybe a doily? hehehehe
Love your idea of putting a picture of the item in a box . . . I think I'll borrow that idea . . . and I am also finding out about having the granddaughter around all the time and playing with her instead of doing my projects . . . but you know nothing compares to opening that front door in the evening and being greeted with a little face that lights up with a smile when she see ya . . . this is true love!!!!!

excuses excuses...come on girlfriend...you can do it. You can always sneak over to my house which is baby free and knit as long as you want!
Give a man a fish - he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. I say, give the unfinished gifts with a coupon to teach them how to knit. They can finish it themselves!! It's two gifts in one!!
Heellloooo - anybody home (tap tap tap). Hey lady - you were a no-show at jazzercize last night - no blog posting in darn near a month. What - too busy driving a NEW CAR or something?? LOL. I miss you - now post something gosh darn it.. like all your finished christmas knitting.
Hope the holiday knitting is going well and you are enjoying everything about the season!
