Done like dinner!

Yes, folks, I finished the Socks of Doom at 3:18pm this afternoon - fastest pair of socks I've made yet, and I am envisioning a Christmas warm with Socks of Doom - I may have to call them something else for the warm and fuzzy factor, though...

so now I wait until I either get a pair of socks in the mail, thereby terminating me (but really, what a way to go!), or I get the socks my target was working on along with her assigned target, and I try to finish those before I get hit - for once, my huge feet (size 10's) might work to my advantage!

lovely package in the mail today from Tanya, my former secret pal, now friend, for whom I made much too small socks - she returned them for repairs and included a wonderful surprise:


a flower washcloth in the loveliest shade of yellow, and so-o-o-o soft - I wish you could feel this! And Tan, you know you shouldn't have, but I so appreciate it!

I had previously mentioned Star Wars Monopoly - well, my sons are hooked, and I have always loved Monopoly in any form, so we are having a blast - it's been almost a week of playing off and on, and the kids are actually opting to play rather than watch TV or play video games - cool, huh? Although the game is set up on what is usually our 'command central' table - dining table, homework station, paper sorting area - so things are a little unsettled right now, but it's so worth it!

And as if that's not enough, they let me be Yoda...

The Force is strong with them...

Your welcome and you deserve it for being such a great secret pal!

I have one myself and it is really nice to use on your face. I think every girl needs one :)

Hello from your new secret pal! Or should I say Sockret Pal? There's no pressure to hurry, but I can't wait to read your answers. Bring on lots of information!

Hey, can you please put up your questions for your Sock-ret pal? Thanks!

Hi, you visited my website and asked me about felting - one of my bowls is really cylindrical (sp) - I shaped it on a tin of brewer's yeast - that's how it stayed in such good shape. I think the round raisin containers will also do. I hope this helps!!
