Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR one and all

Hey guys its lazy me, takes forever to update my blog., I’ve been kind of lethargic and slow lately I don’t know where the time goes., then sh**t happens you know the deal. Saturday Dec. 15th I bought this gorgeous live beautiful Christmas tree got up Sunday morning the god dam tree was on the floor, thank god I did not put any of my priceless ornaments on shit fell what a $** mess, needless to say I was not a happy camper. After my temper tantrum I went to the Sit-N-Knit party, had a great time and met some nice people, no pictures left my camera at home.

My tree from "Little Shop of Horrors.

Next day I prop that sucker in the corner, put away my priceless ornaments and bought some cheap one from the 99c store, I refuse to put all my good ornaments on that tree, the only ones I used was my black angels, the one on the tree top I made years ago, this year she earned a place on the top.After all those trying events I did not want the year to end without giving my sistah’s a big shout-out .

So I am shouting HAPPY NEW YEAR

Here is hoping that all your dreams become realities and live each day as if it’s your last day. ! Have a happy, healthy, prosperous and successful
stash buster & yarn diet year!!!!!

I am doing this blog while cooking the regular Panamanian traditional New Year’s eve meal, blackeye peas/rice cooked in coconut milk, roast pork or fish, and many other side dishes. Cholesterol any one?? Who am I to fight tradition? Right? I am having lobster tails instead of the pig for a change.

Tonight I’ll sit and knit for a while and do a couple of gauges for future projects. Time to finish my eggnog, kick-up my heels and knit......maybe
Happy crafting
