So my last post was about me complaining... or whining..... maybe ranting..... whatever you want to call it, about me making a total of 17 presents for my family for Christmas this year. I'm happy to report that I finished one more today!! Well two.... because one of the presents that I counted yesterday was a work-in-progress (well, three yesterday were a work in progress, now down to two). So now I've done a total of 11. 6 more presents to go... who knew that I would be kinda.... maybe.... sorta excited to finish the rest. Finished one HUGE skein of yarn today for one of my presents. And for those who aren't exactly the crafty kind here's the www.dictionary.com's definition of skein: Skein: a length of yarn or thread wound on a reel or swift preparatory for use in manufacturing.
There's four other definitions of skein. But I doubt you want to know what it's called when a flock of geese is called when they're in flight or a succession or series of similar or interrelated things...... Well.... I guess I just told you two of those definitions. Who knows. If you're going to play some kind of Trivial Pursuit game, that might come in handy. Anyways. It's good to finally use up some of the yarn that I've been holding onto for several months..... Since June/July...... Maybe even May..... I know, I know. What the heck is this girl thinking about holding onto yarn for several months....?? Right?..... Well, to be honest, I WAS going to use it for Christmas presents.... And now I have! Which is REALLY good on my part. Now I got a new skein of yarn that I'm going to be using for at least one present that I know of for sure. I know that I get an idea of who to make a present for with the rest of the skein. I mean.... The skein is flipping HUGE!!! (Pardon my French for the word "Flipping"). But I do have to admit. I AM on a role now I think. I just think that I needed to get over that little bit of a hump that I had for the past couple of presents that I had to do. Now I'm on the final stretch. Don't worry boys and girls, ladies and gents. I am going to take pictures of each present before I give them to the designated person on Christmas. With that being said, DON'T hold your breath thinking that I am going to post them within the next couple of days. Just like I said in my last post, I'd rather the person see the gift in person before I post it up on here on my slideshow page... Just in case the person sees the website and does a little snooping. Which I wouldn't mind in any other circumstance.... But this case.... A little snooping by accident would be kinda be a blown cover.... Think of it as kinda like a spy...... Once s/he has blown their cover, it's adios amigo!! (And that's as far as my Spanish ability goes, sorry peeps!) So, slowly but surely..... I WILL get all these presents done on time. Person by person, their names are getting crossed off. One less person to make a present for. Just 6 more people to make things for. Just
