Crafturday

Winter break has officially started! Miss P had her holiday party at school yesterday. And today we had a NO ALARM CLOCK day - two whole weeks with no alarm clock. I'm in heaven!I hope to get lots of sewing and knitting time. Today I'm working on a pair of lined mittens that B has requested for Christmas. I knit the linings last week and I just finished the outer layer of the first mitten. I'm ready to start the second outer mitten. The linings are knit with baby cashmerino and will not felt. The outers are a blend of homespun and a laceweight alpaca.Miss P has planned a Solstice sleepover with lots of activities for tomorrow night. She and her friend will be sleeping by the Christmas tree! The boys are arriving home on Monday. I kind of hope we get snowed in for for a few days!Happy Crafturday!!
