Amazing Threads:12 Days of Xmas, New Shibui Tempo launch, Unicorn Shawl, & NEW STUFF


 
   I feel more "in control" this holiday season than in past years.  Not sure why?  Thought I had most of my holiday shopping done but now I am second guessing myself.  Go figure.  Guess it is common with Type A personalities or maybe I am just a little OCD.  Either way it all gets done.  Holiday cards arrived today.  YES, I just may get them done before January 2015.  Gift knitting remains in the queue but I am even getting that done.  YEAH! I love the holidays and try so hard not to make them stressful in order to enjoy family and friends and the sounds of the season.  Take a minute to hear the music and enjoy the wonder.  It comes but once a year.
