Weekend Update

1.  Dear Winter, We've ready whenever you are.

2.  Knit and then knit some more.  Christmas shawl is 1/2 complete.  The fact that I have less time to finish the 2nd half than I did to finish the 1st half is duly noted and ignored.

3.  Bowl.  There were four groups bowling on lanes 1-4 out of 30 lanes.  Really?  Were you afraid you'd be unable to accommodate the sudden rush of patrons at 10 am on a Sunday?  You needed to cram us into one corner of the alley?

4.  Life List # 56 -I have joined the Board of Directors for the Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians.  It combines everything I love (the outdoors, crafts, and encouraging self reliance).

5.  Purchased Creepy, Cute Crochet.  I'm planning on tweaking the basic design into snowmen to use as Christmas ornaments to adorn my Christmas bakery baskets.  You'd think you could find a pre-existing pattern at this time of year, but I was unsuccessful.
