I’ve finished almost everything in my WIP’s section, and I’m wondering what to do with myself. I don’t have yarn for baby knits yet, and I’m not really wanting to start until January. I need to finish up Anne’s doll, but other than that….

I’ve been looking online for pictures of the back of Superman’s cape, because the shield is different, and the baby blanket I’m going to make will be red and yellow, like the cape. I finally found a good picture.

So I’m going to be charting again.

Yesterday, Veronica and I went back to Michael’s to get more of these

and discovered that the tree I had purchased on Saturday was now $40 cheaper! So I asked the cashier if they’d do anything for me, and she said that if I brought in the receipt, they’d credit me the difference.

Score.

So we did that, got a bunch more ornaments, and then made gingerbread cookies.

Tell me that doesn’t look like a horrific crime scene? It almost creeped me out, quite frankly. I guess when I make gingerbread cookies, I don’t usually do the actual boys and girls. I usually do turkeys, reindeer, snowflakes, house kits, etc. But yesterday, V wanted boys and girls, and the result looked like chalk outlines.

To me, anyway.

Today, I have to make more cookies using my snowflake cutters before I lend them to one of my sisters-in-law who likes to borrow them to make tree ornaments. Fortunately, the dough is already made up, so I just have to cut and bake.

Also, I’m going back to a different Michael’s to get more ornaments. Again. This tree EATS ornaments, I swear. So, while I don’t really NEED more at this point, I figure since they’re so cheap, and I really like them, I might as well. But I think I cleaned out the last store of the ones I want, so I’m going to a different one that happens to be by the hospital where I have my 23 week checkup today.

Tell me what to knit. I feel weird without a project yelling at me. I think I should finish up the test knitting for my friend’s toy pattern, and relieve myself of the guilt I’m carrying over taking so long, but after that, I need a project.
