I did promise to show you one other photograph, gleaned from my Christmas shopping efforts of last week. This one is a Self-Gift, one of the inevitable results of too much time in the shops, and I can’t say I regret it one little bit. Plush cashmere in a weekend-roomy cut, and bought at J Crew’s 30% off, a veritable treat for someone who deserves it. Me. I’m on that Been Very Nice list, and I know Santa approves. . . .
But just in case, today I earned more Christmas points, making up 3, count ’em 3 tourtières to take to our son’s for Christmas Eve. Finished a pair of socks for someone, also stitched up the gusset in the interminable project that is Nola’s rainbow pants. . . Started another quickie knit gift, added a few more rows on a knit hat. And now I’m heading off to meet a friend at the ferry and bring her back for dinner — Paul’s got a chicken roasting and it smells fabulous. He’s also just put some Christmas tunes on the CD player and the tree lights are twinkling merrily while the fire crackles its flames nearby — what a lovely time to be inside!
I’m not sure how likely I am to post again before Christmas, but if I don’t, here’s a great big Merry Christmas to all of you! Thanks so much for reading and commenting throughout the year — you don’t know how much I appreciate having you here.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Mater! That's a very well-deserved Self-Gift!
This soft aqua will be such a gorgeous colour on you! Merry Christmas to you, too!
That sweater looks so cozy for fireplace snuggling. Have a happy time with your family.
Self-gifting – naughty but a very nice indulgence! Saturday saw me come home with a twirly, swishy dress for dancing on New Year's ever, and a wonderful pair of wine-red Kubos with a strap and just enough heel to make the most ordinary January day just a little better. Merry Christmas!
Perfect! A dance-ready dress and shoes to cheer up January? Good for you!
And you don't know how much we appreciate having you there…
Have a very happy Christmas one and all
Aw, thanks. ….
So adorable.
And a Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hope yours was as well. . .
Well, if Santa said you should, you'd be on his naughty list if you didn't. Have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
I like your thinking! Yes, I'm just trying to keep in Santa's good books
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Just finding your blog throughout The Hostess..Enjoyed your posts very much. Happy Christmas! Love this sweater and color too!
Thanks, Kim! Hope you're enjoying the holiday as well! Nice to "meet" through fellow bloggers, isn't it? I'll have to stop by your place for a visit soon.
