Ponies get a pet!

Here are the wrist warmers I finished last night.  Em was my model.  My arms stretch only so far for me to take a picture of them while wearing them.  They are awesome!  I can't wait to sit down and make the pair for myself.  The Mirasol yarn is to die for!  Love it!  Em said that she would love to have her name added to a list for a pair.  Knew that was going to happen.  But I'm glad my family loves things made for them.  They love to show their things off.  Love them! :)  That's why I keep them around!

Oma will be here in 6 hours!  Yeah!!!  Now to decide where to go to eat after we pick her up.  Everyone is leaning toward Golden Corral.  I'm not arguing.  Anytime I can get as much Fried Okra as I can and not be kicked out of a place, I'm there.  Love that buffet they have!  I always eat too much, but at least I know I would die happy, very HAPPY!!!!

The ponies received a pet today.  To me it looks like a little white bird.  The girls are calling it a duck.  I'm sticking with a small bird.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring.  I do think that the girls will be giving Oma the honors of opening up tomorrow's door.  And the girls said to tell Aunt Kimmy THANK YOU!!  They are loving this.  I just have a great time making them find everything every morning to take a picture of the ponies and their loot.  The girls have a habit of playing with things and forgetting where they laid everything.  I give them a half hour warning so they can find things.  I know I'm too kind, especially when I say that if they don't find everything I won't take any more pictures!  hehehe!!  The joys of motherhood, even if it's simple things. :)

Finished wrist warmers and the Ponies stay warm!

I just finished the wrist warmers from the Cider Moon pattern.  Now I only have 4 more things to make on my list!  I feel like I'm pulling my hair out.  But what would Christmas be with out that happening?!  Boring!  Mom will be here tomorrow afternoon.  I just hope the weather is okay and the snow lets up before her flight gets here.  She definitely won't be in Texas.  She doesn't like it when the temps get around 45 or so.  We are suppose to have highs in to upper 20's next week.  I hope she packed warm stuff.  We are all excited!

So the ponies got a hat today to share.  Even ponies have to keep warm around the holidays.  It looks to be very fashionable.  They are getting quite the gathering of loot for two little hoofers.  Now I'm getting weird.  I have got to get to bed before this all gets too wacky.  I'm correcting a lot words right now so I will say good-bye till tomorrow!  Have fun!

Mags Kandis inspiration and the Ponies advent

Sorry for not updating the ponies yesterday.  The time just flew by and before I knew it I was too tired to post anything. :)  Well yesterday Pinky Pie received a skirt to wear.  She looks very nice with it on.  Today the ponies received a bag (purse) and a couple of pink perfume spritzer's.  We have to have nice smelling ponies you know!

I am just about to the point of adding the thumbs on the wrist warmers I'm working on.  I have at least 3 more gifts on the list after that.  I better get busy.  I took a break yesterday afternoon to paint some sweatshirts for gifts.  They were all done with "black work".  It looks pretty good.  I'll take pictures so I can post them after Christmas.  I don't want anyone peeking at the blog to see what they are getting.

So while I was checking on all the blogs I follow, I saw this update from Mags Kandis (creator of Mission Falls).  Love her stuff.  She posted this bag pattern on Knitty to share with all of us.  I am definitely making myself on of these.  I go between wanting a big bag and then I get tired of it and want something smaller so I'm not dragging a suitcase around.  This is perfect for the small bag times.  Thanks Mags!  It is just the cutest.  Can't wait to finish my gift list.

Two more days until Oma get here!  :)
