It is the Week Before Christmas

You would think I am feeling calm. I’m done all the shopping. The gifts are wrapped and under the tree. I even have the white elephant gifts for that game my mom always has at the family party.

Yes, I’m ready for Christmas.
What I’m not ready for is to leave my work behind. So I’m scrambling to have everything done in the next 3 days…well, 2 days cause Sunday doesn’t count. There may be a little screaming going on in my head.
Also, the movie theater in town is showing It’s a Wonderful Life and Polar Express tomorrow. So if I want to go to those – and I promised Ryan I’d take him to Polar Express – I need to get my butt in gear.

Do you think I can make it?

I could see It’s a Wonderful Life tonight at 7 and then Polar Express with Ryan tomorrow at 2. That a
ctually might take a little pressure off because, let’s face it, I lose all momentum around 4 PM and never get much work done after dinner.

Here’s my list for today which will probably spill into tomorrow.

1. Blog Post
2. Breakfast with a friend
3. update the fleeces spreadsheet so I can plan what to wash the first week of January
4. check the loom threading for the next skirt fabric. (Corriedale)
5. spin all samples (at least 4) for the Ply Bulky Issue article
6. Sew the skirt and get it in the mail for Amy to dye.

If I can get those 6 things done before the end of Saturday I will feel ok.

Send me good vibes. Because, also, we’re out of Nog!

Anyway, In case you are worried about my Christmas knitting project, I finished this yarn for my first pair ever of handspun socks. We shall see what happens.

Because of some experienced sock knitters I did throw the skein through the wheel again for a tiny bit more twist.

I’ll keep you posted. Send me good vibes.

Also, now I can check the first thing off my list and it’s not even 7AM! woohoo!
