Christmas Lights to the Extreme


I may hate winter, but I love Christmas lights.  One of my fondest memories has always been going for a drive late at night with my parents just to see the lights.   My favorite part of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is Clark’s foibles with the lights on his house:











I’m always amazed at the levels of creativity that are utilized in creating some of these fantastic displays, and found some really great ones I would love to share with you!












Crazy Awesome Sock Patterns to Try

I've been becoming a little bit of a knitter over the years, and while it still isn't my preferred method of yarn craft, I have to admit it holds it's own merits.  For example, I've made gloves, mittens and fingerless gloves in both knit and crochet and I like the lay of the knitted ones better.  They are thinner, but still warm, which allows for more ease in movement, they're stretchy too, which also lends well to this type of garment.  I still favor crochet for hats and afghans, but would never think of crocheting a sweater!  I think that would just be too bulky.  Another area that I think knitting takes the cake is socks.  I haven't yet knitted a pair of socks, but I have crocheted one, and I didn't like the way they felt at all!  I think a knitted sock would be much more comfortable!  This is why I have made it my goal this year to knit a pair (or two!) of socks just to give it a shot and see how I like it.  While I know these won't be the patterns I'm starting with, I am starting quite the stash of fun patterns to try out!

Things I'm Thankful For: Food





So this was meant to be part of a November Series of "Things I'm Thankful For."


Unfortunately, I got too caught up in being thankful for life that I didn't do much posting here, on this blog.  So here, I bring to you, some entertaining GIFs that will help you appreciate food as much as I do!










Because everyone has had that moment where you just had to eat that beloved sandwich.













BUTTER!!!












COOKIE!

Because one drumstick is never enough.













Because animals eating are so cute- and this one takes the cake!!!  (or Broccoli!)
