sunday morning . . my treats!

christine had some treats in her bag for me! (those two chocolates are just a drop in the bucket! i'm set for the entire holiday season and winter!) isn't the little black kitty on the schoppelwolle cute? just like my xena, she looks like she can be a bit of a curmudgeon also! the sock yarn is beautiful. christine is knitting a shawl with it (very pretty), but i think i'll do socks. i'd love to wear them this winter with my jeans. the pink yarn is a silk and merino mix. it's wonderfully soft. i wish i had extra arms to knit while i work on the black mohair shawl i'm doing for the dances patrelle fundraiser. christine is sweet and i feel like i've known her forever. i'm so glad she has come to visit.

morgana and chanda and daddy all worked together this morning. soon it'll be time to get ready for gingerbread rehearsal. k is watching a cartoon on her computer. she said she'd put the chicken puff pastry dinner together for me, so i can do some spelling with morgana before we head out. i did a series of meals from the martha stewart cooking magazine this week! it's working out well, because the ingredients k needs to make the puff pastry chicken dish are already cooked . . chicken and sweet potatoes. they're leftovers from the past week's meals. so nice!
