Christmas is over and it's on to Valentine's day

I have spent two days straightening up the craft room. I had put it together and then after working in it decided it just wasn't working for me. So after rearranging I think it might work at least for a little while...I am hoping to move it into our smaller bedroom which is twice the size of my converted sun porch which has no heat or airconditioning...
So may everyone have a Happy New Year and I will be back with something creative soon

Merry Christmas...

hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.

On the 7th day of Christmas

Santa is on his way I hope you all are being very very good! I am knitting away, I will get back to my paper crafts as soon as I get the orders I have filled.

My daughter wants me to open an etsy store so that may be coming soon…I will keep you posted.

Twas the Month before Christmas

Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down

At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace.

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded.

The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say

Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,

not Happy Holiday!

Please, all Christians join together and

wish everyone you meet

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!

Sock Monkey

I made this sock monkey for my friend's baby using the Knifty knitters. I am working on the pattern and would be glad to share as soon as I have it done. Just PM me if your interested.
