Stuff, things, etc.

Work is crazy busy now, so please forgive me if my posts get fewer. Not only am I doing my job, but I'm doing production on our directory this year (last year we sent it out) and we're developing two (yes, two) new websites that I need to design. On the other hand, I have to take two days of vacation before the end of the year or lose them, so I'm taking off the day before Thanksgiving and a day around Christmas. Won't help me get my work done, but will probably help with the sanity thing!

In addition to work, I'm trying to get as much holiday stuff out of the way now as I can. I got a lot of the "little stuff" shopping done this past weekend with a fun trip to Big Lots and the clearance section of Target. :) I still have some stuff I need to make, and I don't have any idea of what to do for my mom. I'll come up with something, even if I have to cheat and ask her husband what she'd like.

I'm working on a mystery project for my swapee for the Holiday Swap at Crochetville, but since I'm not sure if she stops by this blog, I won't mention what it is. But I hope it turns out like I want it to - it's felted! I've actually got almost everything ready to go for her - I should easily make the Dec. 10 deadline to send everything out.

Diva Kitty and the buns posted a photo of their backyard to help with my voyerism (and I imagine their mom helped them work the camera). Anybody else have a photo?

I did end up ripping out the beginnings of the Living On the Edge poncho. I just couldn't face looking at it any longer, let alone actually working on it. So it will become other things and I won't have a project that makes me angry.

We're getting our gas fireplace from installed this Friday - very exciting! We live in an old neighborhood and tend to lose power a lot, so we wanted something that could still heat a portion of the house without any electricity. Plus, it's 99.9% efficient, much better than our furnace. It's Spike's early holiday present.

So ... yeah. This was kind of a dull post, but, hey, it was kind of a dull weekend! :)
