While some of my Christmas projects can be blogged (some recipients do not blog), most cannot. Boxing day will be a big blog day for all crafters, won't it? All of our gifts will be piled up in the living room and we'll be parked in front of our computers with our coffee and Bailey's fervently blogging the last few months leading up to Christmas. I suppose I should be photographing what I'm working on. I'd love to, but the camera is is always with Ross. I don't think I've ever had it to myself. Maybe I'll ask for my own for Christmas. Ross did give me my own digital camera, then he took some pictures with it, viewed them on the computer and told me it was crap and not to use it until he had figured it out. So it sits in wait. If I really cared, I'd probably read it's manual and install the software and use it on my own, right? Right.

Back to Christmas projects.

I'm crocheting a bible cover in Patons Astra - Crystal White. I love it. This is for my aunt who is a Chaplain Nurse at Yorkminster Church.

I made a scarf for my sister with a Bernat Soft Boucle. It's variegated (and I think discontinued) - and that's the one I need the fringe for.

I guess that's all I can mention right now. Ha! I have made a ton of stuff. I have a lot of finishing to do. Finishing, sminishing! I did some of that yesterday. It feels good to do the finishing, though. It's tedious and mundane, but once done, you feel so much better!

Better get back to my projects! Christmas is coming fast! I will take pictures! I will!

Dad and Marian get us Advent calendars every year; the yummy kind with chocolate! Ross and I decided to photoblog our chocolatey month. His Incredible Hulk calendar has 6 bonus chocolates. I'm sure that once Christmas rolls around, I'll have plenty of chocolate of my own. The way to my heart is through chocolate, to be sure! I even tell my patients that. They even bring me some once in a while :) The windows on my calendar are much bigger than Ross's so I figured while he may have 6 bonus chocolates, mine were bigger. I opened the window for Dec. 1st only to find a tiny little square in there, the same size as Ross's. I have them hanging in the hallway.

I ran out of moisturizer and never got around to getting myself some on the weekend. I've been dying to go to Chinatown to see if they have the stuff that Ross brought me back from Shanghai. This morning I used Ross's "adidas Active Skincare for Men - Daily energizing face lotion" and I love it. It's the best stuff I've used in a long time. My skin is super-soft. Strong enough for a woman, but made for a man! Ah well. We bought me my own adidas skincare for men tonight :) I feel so manly. I'll let you know if there are any side-effects for using a men's product, like I start scratching myself in strange places or farting loudly.

I wish I lived in the US, I could order a free sample. Canoe has a lovely intro article for the products.

These Santa Mittens are crocheted and would look great on Miss Keyz and Miss Dawn. For sure. Oh and don't forget the birthday girl, Miss Sierra!
