Seeing Spots

Are you seeing spots?



Feeling alright? A little giddy, perhaps?



Maybe the holidays are getting to you?



Or maybe this is the cure.

Sorry. I'd really like to show you what I've been working on, or to tell you why I've collected these yummy, spotty fabrics in one place, but I can't.

Maybe if you're extra specially good, Santa will have some interesting posts after Christmas. So you'd better watch out...

Some Random Photos

Just to play catch-up:



Here is Glory before the Christmas play last Friday. She sang her solo perfectly, by the way.



Here is a hamster sweater I crocheted, maybe Saturday. Ok, it's not a sweater. It's a little home. The hamster loves it, and it currently shredding it. That's what they do.



I don't know why the peas looked so emotive after I microwaved them last night.



Here is the current W.I.P.

Yes, I am actually making a quilt! Can you believe it?

Anyway, that's what's been going on around here. Ever since the craft fair and the Christmas play ended, I've been free as a bird.
But now I must go wash dishes and do the laundry. Sigh. I won't be taking any pictures of these activities...

A Gift For A Friend

So much of my time this week has been taken up with making gifts for Christmas, and I can't post those pictures because, well, you know...



But today is my friend Sunny's birthday, and I made this crocheted necklace for her. I should see her tomorrow night at Glory's school's Christmas play. Hopefully she won't surf my blog before I see her, and no one will tip her off, or my surprise will be ruined!

This is the coral necklace from the Berroca website. I used a completely different yarn than the pattern, added some dark blue pearl beads, and then, last minute, decided to create this little tie thingy.

It's soft and cuddly and not too warm, altho I find many people appreciate having something on their necks here in Singapore, as it protects them from unfriendly air conditioning.

Some Christmas Content

Somehow, gingerbread has become our newest family tradition. And darn if the little things aren't totally photogenic!


Ooops, this one has lost a button.


You can't catch me - I'm....caught. Drat!


Where's Waldo?


Steppin' out.


Got dressed in the dark.


I can relate.


Someone was playing ball in the house...


The very photogenic head chef.
