Christmas Before Halloween


Here it is the 10th and I'm not believing it. I am still sick but today I feel a bit better. Had a great conversation with mom tonight on the phone. I will spend the rest of tonight knitting a capelet I have started to be donated to the Madrigals auction in Feb. I think I will make two if this one turns out okay. They are furry, really cute. If I can remember I will put a picture of them up here when I am done. It's very difficult typing this because I have 17 pounds of fur on my lap and I don't have the heart to kick it off.

I received an email from a guy who would like to sell our finger puppets on his online store. It's called Maher Dry Goods . There are some cute things there, I recognize quite a few things that are for sale on Etsy so he must keep an eye on that place. The puppets are these animals and monsters. Robyn made the monsters and I made the animals. It feels so neat to have our things being sold elsewhere. My booties are in a gift shop in Georgia and the lady from polkadotpatch is still interested and I'm going to be talking to her tomorrow.

I was shocked the other day when I had to go to the grocery store, since I've been sick I haven't been out much and we are running out of food and toilet paper. I suppose we could go a little longer without food but the other is a must have! Anyway, there is already an isle for Christmas things up at Ralph's. There are ornaments, paper, ribbon, toys, dishes, other novelty items and it was really weird to see. Oh, and of course, they had very obnoxious Christmas music blaring from animated animals. Not that I mind Christmas music, it was just very annoying. However, I did buy some of the fabric ribbon. All of the Halloween candy is a few isles over from it. I don't recall Christmas things out this far ahead of Halloween.

Well that is it for me for today. I'm tired and need to work on the cape. No, I need to work on the finger puppets! Goodnight...
