Ornaments

I've really on a Nisse/Gnome kick. You will all have to blame Irene, Susan, the creater of these little cork gnomes (aka. korknisse),and all those knitting enablers over at Whoduknit?. I made these for all the gal pals in my face-2-face book club, who...in the spirit of bonhommie, self sacrifice and friendship helped me drink all these bottles of wine.

(The actual amount of time expended to drink this wine is protected information: What happens in book club; stays in book club. Though should anyone need any corks please let me know.)

Santa Delivers

Both my swap packages arrived this week and both came from outside the U.S., which I think is really, really cool. Have no idea what was sent; the DD and DH put them under the tree, though I was allowed to look at the return addresses. Took a quick snap before the dogs could block the view and now things are not only askew but--on closer inspection--I can see the DD monkeying around in the back!

Thank you Jamie in Alberta (Christmas Around the World--box wrapped in shipping carton) and Irene in Denmark (Whoduknit--package with blue paper in forefront) Will give more specific thanks in a few days.
