Good things:
1.) Fresh-baked madeleines
2.) Coffee with actual cream
3.) Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me (Courtesy of KUOW streaming)
4.) Christmas tree smell
I have a terrible, terrible habit of 'winging it'. In cooking this generally goes okay, as I have enough experience that I won't do anything so stupid as adding lemon juice to a cream sauce or using baking soda instead of baking powder. In crochet, however... I decided to make up this stocking with the yarn left over from the baby blanket I made. The pattern calls for worsted-weight yarn, but I figured that would be a pretty small stocking, so I made it with this bulky acrylic instead, and it's huge. I challenge someone to fill this stocking. (No, seriously. More for me. Awesome.)
The holiday season is upon us and my gift list has 22 names on it. 22. I swear I don't have that many friends and relatives that I like. =_= I need to go shopping, but I won't feel secure enough to buy stuff until payday on the 15th... very frustrating. Maybe I'll just crochet everyone I know a shitty scarf- yeah, one shitty scarf for all of them- and leave it at that. =_=
No, no I won't.
