How we spent Black Friday: making gifts at MECCA.

In my rush to get all the food on the table, I always forget pictures! Oh well, here's the aftermath. Happy Thanksgiving!

Our yard was flamingoed! It's a fundraiser for a local youth group. We can pay $20 to have the flamingos removed, or $15 to have them removed and directed to another house of our choice. How much to keep them?

Elderberry Gingko

I finished this shawlette for Amelia back in September, but wanted to get pictures of her wearing it for the post! The pattern is Gingko by Maggie Magali, knitted in Knit Picks Shimmer Hand Dyed Lace Yarn (elderberry colorway) on size 6 needles. I loved knitting this little shawlette, so fun!

Here are some outside pictures, to show off the structure a little better!

My prizes from the EMQG anniversary party: a potholder by Virginia, a wallet by Denise, insane 70s patchwork book and awesome loteria fabric scraps!

Chilling out in the evening with a toy.

I promise I won't let my blog become a dog blog, but how can I resist taking pictures of this cutie?

We adopted a puppy! Her name is Dee Dee, she's 9 weeks old. She's a mutt (Dalmatian, Lab, Pug, French Bulldog + ??? mix). So sweet. Just getting used to her new home and her new people.

We found our puppy today! She is coming home with us tomorrow!

The kids are using this book of mandala paintings as a map for their adventure game. It's pretty cool to listen to them talking about the paintings and describing all the characters and dangers they have to pass in the game.

I just spent TWO HOURS getting this kid to sleep. I'm posting this picture so I can think of him as a sleeping baby and not a wailing banshee.
