Time is flying by, I hope you are satisfied with where you are in your Christmas preparations. I still have a little shopping to do, nothing too stressful. I should get it done this week, maybe even today.
This morning I got a steam burn when I tried to remove the coffee filter. The coffee pot had been left on all night and when I stuck my hand in to get the filter, it let out a huge stream oif steam. Ouch! It still hurts and is all red.
I want to share a picture from Ms. Mustard Seed's blog.
Do you see the crochet bauble garland? It's the one that is draping low. I think it is so cute. It is made using only chain stitch! I think even I can do it. If interested, you can find a tutorial here. I was excited to get started making one but I couldn't find the one crochet hook I have. I'll have to go to Hobby Lobby to pick up one and some nice yarn. That's on my to-do list for today.
I finally got my wrapping done. So happy about that. I'm still waiting on a few packages to arrive. Hopefully they will get here before Christmas.
I've been enjoying our fires as I peruse some of my favorite blogs. It's been brutally cold. Low's in the 20's with a stiff breeze. But we will warm up quickly, getting in to the 60's this week.
I hope you are enjoying your holiday season. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for your visit and lovely comment on my blog about my Polar Express tablescape. I really enjoying setting pretty themed tables. So sorry to hear you burned yourself from that coffee pot. Christmas will soon be upon us. Enjoy those cozy fires and the holiday.đ
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting! Have a great week!
DeleteI hope your crochet garland works, it's really pretty!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it good to have those presents wrapped?
Burns are so painful, hope it heals well.
It feel wonderful to have the presents wrapped! All I have planned for today is that trip to Hobby Lobby. I can't wait to get started on the garland! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat crochet garland is adorable, I love it. I don't know if I'm handy enough. Good job getting all your shopping done, now you can just enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI just got back from Hobby Lobby, lets hope I can make the garland. I think my needle is a little big - it's a 9.
DeleteThis tree is stunning!! I hope you can make this garland without your poor hand hurting! What a freak accident.
ReplyDeleteThe pain has eased. I'm afraid I'm trying the garland with too big of a crochet hook - I got a 9. Hopefully I can make it work. The pain from the steam burn has let up, thank goodness!
