Of Snowing and Skulls

Ah, this morning I got up so much later than I normally do on a Sunday (normally, I get up by 8 a.m., today was 9:45 a.m.! It's late for me!). I had good reason to stay in bed... this is what I saw when I looked out of my window:And this is my back yard:Last night they were saying that we would have a snow storm. We didn't get that much, but the wind was whipping around and that was a little unnerving. I don't like high winds because of the damage that they can cause.

Hubby and I went out last night before all this hoopla to get his friend a wedding gift. We went to two different stores since the wedding is next week, most people already got gifts. So, needless to say their registry was a little picked over. Oh well, we got them a few things that they wanted. We also got ourselves some new sheets; flannel and tee-shirt sheets! Here are the cute tee-shirt sheets that I picked out (poor hubby has to deal with cute little colorful snowflakes!):

Friday night, I knit a LOT of my skull tote bag. Here's what it looked like yesterday morning: The skull pattern is on both sides. I finished the skull part and am now starting the bottom of the bag. I hope to finish today so I can felt it tonight. I also have to finish the hat for a lady at school. Here's how my skull bag looks right now:

I got our Christmas tree up last weekend and yesterday I trimmed it. Today I have to get out my nutcrackers and get them put up. I love this time of year!
