Happy Holidays

Christmas and New Year's are coming up fast! We had a nice Thanksgiving with my in-laws here. My mother-in-law and hubby did all the cooking, I didn't have to do a thing! It was kind of nice. My mom will be coming for Christmas weekend, so the boys are really looking forward to that.

Alex has finished his internship, which he really enjoyed. It will be hard for him to adjust to being a regular high school senior again. His graduation will be here in May, and it will be here before we know it! This is Tyler's last year of middle school, so he will be starting high school at the same time that Alex starts college.

The boys know what most of their Christmas presents are, but hubby and I have a couple of surprises for them this year. Tyler has also been waiting for 2 years for a certain new Star Wars video game to be released, and it comes out next week! He is extremely excited. He pre-ordered the game, so he will actually get it sooner than the release date.

I've been busy with my knitting. I've also started spinning, using a drop spindle. At first I wasn't sure I would be able to learn how to do it, but I've been practicing a little every day and I'm getting much better at being able to keep the yarn consistent. It's been a lot of fun building up a fiber stash to go with my yarn stash and fabric stash! After the New Year, I'm hoping to get some things ready for sale on Etsy.com. I plan on making some beaded jewelry and keychains as well as sewing some notions and project bags. Hopefully I can have my Etsy shop up and running in January!

Happy Holidays everyone!
