Months and months in the making!

My last two November finishes were both a long time coming!  First up is the sweater.  I started it back in April.  Since I only really knit or crochet when waiting, it didn't get worked on regularly.  I love it!!!  It is so warm! 

My second finish was a little cross stitch project.  This was a kit that I had sitting around, and had sort of started.  A couple months ago I found the perfect frame at the goodwill.  So I finished it and framed it. 

It's a little pink for me, but it works on the shelf I have it on.  I think I like working on cross stitch this time of year.  Curl up with a blankie and supplies, and I can be warm and get something done!

Thanksgiving was full of turkey, pie, and family.  I think I need to change some things up a bit around here, for sanity's sake. DH likes it the way we do it now, but he has a crazy work schedule the days leading up to Thursday, then another crazy week after. I think he's happy as long as he has Thanksgiving off.

This week I have a couple of quilts to work (maybe finish?), and I may try and pick up yarn for the next knitting project.  The kids went through all the patterns with me, and we tagged the ones we wanted, and got rid of the rest.  Thankfully, my step-mom is a spinner and knitter, so they went to a good home.  She kept the ones she wanted and passed them on to her knitting group.  Two magazine holders worth of patterns are gone!  I just have two magazine holders left that the kids want done! LOL, all in good time.  If a sweater takes me 9 months, I've got YEARS planned ahead of me!
