Is it Friday yet?

I have had another day of very little to do. I could have a lot to do if I were to do some make work projects, but should I have to? After 6 years with the company, I don't think I should have to go looking for work.

I was offered another job last weekend, but it was part-time, so I don't think it would work. It's too bad, because the job involves working with kids and I love working with youngsters. The great thing is they have no limit to their imaginations. The only thing is I would have to work on my colouring, I'm a little rusty :)

I was working with kids last weekend, and one little girl said the cutest thing. She asked if reindeer are real because Santa arrived and the reindeer weren't with him. I told her they were but they were on the roof at the time. She said okay, but then she asked how they got up there. I told her the reindeer are magic and she said, oh yeah, they are because they pull Santa's sleigh. How cute is that?

I finished crocheting a sweater last night. I just have to finish the tie-ins and add the buttons, but I have to admit, I'm glad it's done. It seems to have gone on forever. I have a second sweater that's almost done. I'm hoping to get them both done this week. They seem to be taking longer than they usually do.

I've also started working with granny daughters to try and use them up. It's amazing how many it takes to make a long scarf. I did five rows of thirty-six granny daughters and joined them using double and single crochets. I now still have to join the rows using single crochet. But that shouldn't take too long. I only finished one bag and I still have about ten of them left, but I couldn't see putting seven hundred of them together for blankets. I might try doing some sweaters with them, but they would have to be done in pastel colours. I certainly wouldn't use dark colours for baby sweaters.

I usually send my Christmas cards out on December 1st. I haven't even started them yet. I'm having a little trouble staying in the Christmas spirit. Maybe once the decorations start going up, it will be easier to stay in the holiday spirit. Hopefully ...

Anyway, maybe I'll have some more work to do tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd hate to think I might actually have to play on the internet to keep from being bored :)

Well, anyway, back to work ... hahahahaha

Here Comes Santa Claus

Wow, it seems like forever since I blogged. Almost six months. I have been making sweaters, scarves, hats, and many other projects. I taught at the CreativFestival (snowflakes). Lots of fun.

I also took part in Haunted this year. That was a chilly night. We sat outside for four hours in a wind tunnel.

I am working on a cookbook with one of my volunteer organizations. It had some setbacks but it's coming along.

Last week was the Volunteer Recognition dinner. The music was great. CPR (Cawthra Park Rock) is an excellent band with potential to go very far. Dinner was delicious and the company was delightful. I look forward to the next year of working with the energizing people.

I just went to see The Santa Claus 3: The Escape Claus and Happy Feet last night. Great shows! Happy Feet has tons of upbeat music. The Santa Claus 3 took another new storyline for Santa.

I also volunteered with a Christmas party for children yesterday that was just amazing. Happy, smiling kids, how can you not get into the Christmas spirit with that kind of a day.

Brilliant smiles all around.

Gotta get back to work (boring). Hoping it will pick up soon. Happy Monday everyone!
