I cant believe its already december.. where did my year go? seriously .. just the other day it was like july 4th or something.. I swear the older I get the faster the days go .. hell by the time i hit 50 the days will just feel like minutes going by.. I will never get anything done... UGH
Today at market was good... if I had 50 scarves I would have been able to sell them all.. people were serious scarf buyers today .. I sold 7.. 7 scarves.. a shawl.. a wrap.. and a baby blanket.. YaY me ! .. not so shabby.. but I guess you all know what I am gonna be doing this week.. thats right .. I am gonna be making scarves like a mo' fo' .. the people that stopped by today said they would be back next week If I would make some scarves.. I guess they are down to getting those last minute small gifts.. and that is fine with me as long as they buy them from me .. I dont want to make 20 scarves this week only to haul back 19 next thursday evening..
So tonight when I got home I started that cute little lamb in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine for my nephew.. I have gotten quite a bit done already .. I think he will like it.. that is the last present I have to finish and I am DONE! SO.. this week .. one lamb.. 5,000 scarves.. that is my goal.. ok really only about 25.. but I am sure it will seem like 5K when I am finished and I wont want to do another scarf any time soon.. on the bright side..the ones I dont sell .. can be reserve gifts.. you know .. those gifts you keep just in case some one shows up at your house, party , etc with a gift for you and you dont have one for them.. every one wears scarves and if they dont they arent going to tell you that as you give them a hand made one.. they just let the dog wear it when they get home...
I am getting excited about going home for Christmas.. I have to call my dad tomorrow and finalize some stuff.. it should be a nice trip .. I havent been home since October.. I know that doesnt sound like long but I was used to seeing my sister at least every other day before I left and now its months in between .. I also like to see the kid's faces when they get excited aobut the gifts they get at Christmas.. that is so fun! ..
I am just all over the place tonight .. I think its sleep dep.. I did my usual insomnia thing last night.. always the night before market.. never ever a night where I dont have to get up the next day .. ALWAYS wednesday... the last time I looked at the clock it was 4. 37... thats right.. I got about 2 hours sleep.. I have been wired on espresso and tea all day .. I have a small espresso pot (the old kind that is silver and comes apart in the middle) and a little camp propane burner ... man I was set today .. brewed up coffee that would eat a spoon and had a great caffeine fueled day .. I am sure my last customers of the day thought I was on speed.. I was talking so fast a lady asked me if I was a Yankee !! LOL.. imagine that .. too funny ..

It's much warmer in Texas at Christmas time if you get to cold at home, you all can come here...**grin**
I love scarves..I pointed one out to the elf that I want for Christmas...we'll see if he takes the hint...of course I need the matching hat and gloves with it too.
Coffee..you and the elf and your coffee that is more suited to shining silver and stripping floor wax then for human consumption. BLECH....
Oh and he says you guys have to get together for another marathon wine drinking thing. (They are cute when they are smashed on good wine...hehehe)
