Again with the cookies?

Monday, I cut and baked 7 dozen pumpkin shaped sugar cookies. Today, I’m going to be making about as many gingerbread cookies. (The yummiest gingerbread cookie in the entire world, I might add). But before I do, I have to haul off to the store to get dinner stuffs, because we’re going to be eating on the run, and I need supplies.

Tonight, at 6:30, Nate’s youngest brother comes home from Italy. (This would be Pete, the recipient of Pete’s Bag linked in the sidebar.) He’s been there for 2 long years, and tonight, we’re going to party. I’m bringing a zillion cookies. (Nate has a very, very large family).

It’s going to be a busy day. I’m glad I’ve been able to rest up these past two days. And resting up I’ve been.

I’m halfway through the armholes on the back of the VCC. 4 1/2 inches to go, then I get to start armholes on the two fronts. This additional length is turning out to be a very good thing. I am very glad I decided to frog and re-knit, and I’m so excited to wear this sweater! I think it’ll look great. And once it’s done, I’m going to jump right into the Interlocking Balloons scarf from Scarf Style, in my red Angora yarn by Elsebeth Lavold. I think they’ll go together nicely.

And finally, mom sent a picture of her clogs.

I wish you could see how fluffy they are. Lamb’s Pride makes gorgeous slippers.
