All Christmas knitting has been delivered. I managed to take pictures of most of it but, as usual, they are still on the camera.
Co-worker knitting was placed on desks this morning. I hope they like their hats. I made all of them using the Spud and Chloe Go Team hat pattern but altered the stripes on some. I also decided to forgo the i-cord and pom poms.
Pictures tomorrow. I promise.
The caramel rolls tried to escape before I baked them. Beer bottle as a size reference (thanks to my SIL).
Escaping Caramel Rolls
But I baked them anyway…
The baking dish really is under there
The rolls turned out a bit doughy but were still very good.
This Santa plays a mean saxophone and dances. The twins were a little bit afraid of him so after his solo, he had to take a nap. Every time Santa’s name popped up, the twins said “Santa tired. Nap. Sleeping.”
Jazzy Santa
He slept here…

The presents were unwrapped.
Budding artists
I spent more time playing and watching my family than I did taking pictures.
Christmas Tree 2010
The house is quiet now. I miss them already. It’s just Mr. Aitch and me.
Sigh…
The finished product
To continue with what I did last Friday night…
Now for the Revelation part.
Yesterday while I was at work reheating leftovers for lunch and trying to decide if I should get my knitting out during lunch, I had a revelation. All knitting projects (except Mr. Aitch’s Musica mitts) are on hold. I have been knitting feverishly for several days trying to get gift knitting finished for today. Gift knitting for my co-workers. Not happening. I was putting too much pressure on myself and needed a break. It wasn’t fun anymore.
My family means more to me than my co-workers. Sorry, Co-workers, but I don’t think any of you read this blog anyway. Your Christmas gifts will be finished after Christmas. Like it or not, that’s the way it is.
Has that ever happened to you?
