I hear you on the timing...That castle is the bomb. I hear you on the timing front, that’s why this year I'm keeping my knitted gifts to a minimum: only two. Everyone else gets a sewn present (goes faster than knitting) and because I got started a month ago I only have four little pressies to go. This is the first year ever that I get started so early (who said an old dog can’t learn new tricks?), and you know what? I highly recommend it. After this weekend I’ll be able to focus on planning the food, decorations, and may even get a bit of time for selfish knitting/sewing!Andreahttp://www.stitchparade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813519342667385033.post-7564121529632847472011-11-30T13:05:54.829-08:002011-11-30T13:05:54.829-08:00Well you're not hardcore...unless you live har...Well you're not hardcore...unless you live hardcore! <br /><br />Good music helps! <br /><br />Coffee is a given, and being realistic...seems obvious, but yeah, how easy is it to start lying to yourself when you see, for example, every single Rebecca Danger pattern? <br /><br />My kid is reading over my shoulder and has announced "Mommy needs to knit the Yoda and the castle"...greaaaaaathannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106233173765788450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813519342667385033.post-53144272582874841602011-11-30T11:57:14.838-08:002011-11-30T11:57:14.838-08:00So far, I only have coffee.

But I did start exercising and tracking what I eat again b/c my pants are getting a leeeetle tight; I am a cookie-holic (no SRSLY. I might really be)! SO that is helping!fionafaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754439826831598727noreply@blogger.com
