Christmas is Coming....

The goose is getting fat! Heh...I love that song.

So after trying to go christmas shopping then the Service Engine Soon light comes on and puts a damper on the shopping trip, I take the car in and $200 later...my car is mostly better. I guess there is still a small problem with the mass air intake. The guy said that its on the low end of the range that ford says it should be but that it shouldn't be a problem. I was worried that it would cost me more like $800 before I took it in. I am under the impression that cars just break bad and cost a ton. So I was a bit relieved.

During my day at home while the escort was getting fixed I finished a baby blanket. I am so proud of it I am putting a picture of it up here too. The blanket is pink, white, and brown. My sister said it sort of looked black on her screen. This pattern came from the book Happy Hooker. This book has lots of great information in it. Its great for a begining crocheter.



Here's a close up of the detail work of the edge.

5 Days to Christmas!

Wow time flew. The 10 or so inches of snow have all melted and its raining tonight. Ick...I've got a lot to do on my day off. Which sucks cuz I wanted to sleep. And wouldn't it figure that right as I was going to finish up Christmas shopping the "Service Engine Soon" light comes on in my car. So tomorow I also have to take the car in. I hope that it doesn't cost too much. I don't know whats wrong with it. It hasn't been running weird or anything. Everything seems to hit all at once. I just hope I can make it through to the New year

Picture Time!

We had a pretty bad snow storm the other day. We got like 10 inches. It drifted though. This is the front of our house. Our front stairs are burried still.

Here is a picture of this year's Christmas tree. We didn't put the garland on it this year. Its looking good.

This is a weird night thing I tried to do...it looks kind of bad but thats ok. It still looks sort of neat.
