Quietish

I need to bid you all a farewell, as the fam has rented a cabin south of here in the Arbuckles for our Thanksgiving extravaganza. Ok, maybe “extravaganza” is a bit much, but I am sure we will have a great time. Who doesn’t love stuffing themselves with thanksgiving food and enjoying nature? It will be a blast!

It will be somewhat interesting anyway, as I have a new tattoo that I haven’t quite gotten around to mentioning yet…

Nymphadora1 is ready for it!

She hasn’t gotten a whole lot of love lately while I’ve worked on other Christmassy things. She will be my only knit project accompanying us on this trip though, so it will even out some.

And speaking of knitting: I’ve gotten quite a bit of hate e-mail (playful joke, you know. not really hate mail) lately regarding my influence on other aspiring knitters or straight-up non-knitters. Close friends of mine as well as people I hardly know have accused me of influencing them and enabling their fast-growing addictions to yarn, shopping for yarn, and knitting/crocheting.

I must defend my innocence. I am but a humble crafter who simply enjoys her hobbies and is somewhat of a materials-snob. I apologize profusely to those many folks who have seen my well-meant, happy posts about my crafting ventures and instantly caught the bug themselves. Especially to those 3 or 4 that banged their shins or twisted an ankle in a mad dash to their local yarn stores. Sorry about that. I truly didn’t know I had so much influence on those around me. Hee.

Although I probably should have guessed based on my experiences with scrapbooking. =P

Ok, I totally need to pack and stuff. All you US people have a great Thanksgiving weekend!
