After the storm and a little knitting


This is what the living room floor looked like today. Finally got around to taking down the tree and putting away the decorations. Somehow that always seems to take twice as long as putting them up and it's twice as painful as well. But now it's done and the tree is out of the house and Christmas is over for the next 11 months. Sorta sad . . . .




I tried to convince someone to wear this dress to the homecoming dance, but she said it was too big. It was too big, but not hugely so. I didn't really think it would have fallen off her, well it might have cuz it has absolutely no back . . . she might have made the right decision. It's a very cool dress tho, even if it weighs almost as much as the girl . . . those beads and sequins are HEAVY. (And the vertical stripes of color at the bottom are actually fringe in strings of beads those colors, so the end of the dress is where you see the white sequins before the fringe starts . . . .)











Darlin' Dog at the beach house trying to be friendly to the Hamsters. She LOVES to watch them and chase them when they are in their balls. She loves to look at them in their cage. She smashes her face up against the glass of their tank whenever she can.
Someone's got a nice little wind up jug band - very strange . . . .



And yes, Virginia, there has been knitting. I've spent a lot of time in the last week waiting . . . waiting at the car dealership, waiting in the hospital, waiting in this doctor's office and then waiting in that doctor's office and finally, all day Saturday waiting for the stupid cable people to fix both tv and the internet connection . . . enough waiting and the norwegian sweater is back to the same size it was before I ripped it back to the ribbing. The only question is, is it any bigger? Must measure it . . . .
