Hastiness and Cheer!!!

I've been having a wee bit of a problem getting into the
true
 (i.e. non-gingerbread)
Christmas sprit
this year.

In fact I have felt a bit like how our tree
started
out
when we first put it up.


Thanks 
to 
my husband's 
magic..It's now straight.
(After many frustrating attempts 
to straighten the tree, my idea was to suspend it 
from one of our ceiling beams,but he stuffed broken clothes 
pins up in the trunk to fill in the crooked hole that the tree
 lot had made.)
Perfect.

So the tree is decorated,
but
to help get me in more of a Christmas spirit...
I've scarfed down
not one
not two...
but
THREE
cans of Moravian Spice Cookies!

Oh, how I must order some more...

It's Christmas in a Cookie, folks!



Thankfully, my niece and nephew baked some gingerbread men
to tide me over.



I've also been looking for fun crafts
to make this Christmas,
and
of course I went to the Queen of Crafts...


(I know it's upside down, but...eh....)
So I decided I would make popcorn garland.
Hey, I've never done that before!
It'll be fun!

No.
No, it's not.
I pricked my finger so many times,
and the popcorn kept breaking off the string.
Not to mention the thread kept getting tangled.

ah well, nevermind.
This is how much I did get finished.

Think I should just throw it away?
Yeah.  Me too.  ;)



But I did find another little something to do.

But I can't tell you what it is yet.
You may just be getting one!


But don't worry...
My knitting needles and crochet hooks are still put away.
At least for the rest of this year....

I did popcorn garland! Use fishing line, it's easier than thread! :)
