The grandmunchkins are keeping us busy busy busy and loving every minute of it. Volleyball matches, wrestling matches, gymnastics, tae kwon do, Wednesday night children's program, church. Not a lot of time to knit and sew but I finished up a few more things. I am doing level 1 of the Master Knitter's Program and about ready to submit it to the committee. But in between the intensity of that, there has been some "fun" knitting. Below is a hodge podge of November and photo intensive!
I finished this vest in May. I took some pictures and stacked it away for fall. I finally got modeled shots! I love this vest, the yarn, the fit, the design, the buttons! Olaf buttons, what's not to love? It's the Rays of Gold vest by Elena Nodel and the details are on my ravelry page.
I picked up my cross stitch again a few months ago but these are the only things I've finished and they were sent away to my swap partner for the Advent swap. I have to do some more for our Christmas decorations. Next year. No time this year. I learned a few things since the finished article is not what I would have liked but I ran out of time. I should have made the hearts bigger so I had a bigger seam allowance to work with for starters.
All things Frozen are a hit and so why not Olaf pancakes? We don't get pancakes during the week since I don't like to send kids to school sugared up so they are a huge treat on non school days.
As I said, we've been going going going to grandmunchkin events. Like volleyball matches....
and gymnastics. This little gymnast finished level 1!
And cheerleading classes.
For the first time our grandmunchkins that attend the same church we do were part of the worship team. We were SO proud of them. They sang, they stood still and quiet when not singing.
No school November is the phrase around here. They are more no school days than school days so we have actitivities planned or we have hyper bored kids. My sweet husband took the week off to spend with the kids as well. Activities for this "no school November" included cleaning the roof and making cinnamon rolls. Even the youngest learned to knead bread!
Thanksgiving this year was 3 generations! How special and wonderful. No gathering of my side of the family would be complete without a rousing game of Aggravation! It's more about who you can send back than who wins!
Thanksgiving weekend ended in downtown for Holly Jolly Days. Our grandson's tae kwon do school escorted Santa's train in and then put on a play of "Frozen". It was wonderful!
And as this face shows, it was throughly enjoyed.
Speaking of holly jolly...I have a stack of fabric waiting to be sewn into pjs and shirts and books and wrapped. A future blog post will be sewing heavy! And a whole lot of Frozen. I snagged the last of the Olaf flannel and then there's our tree...see you soon. I hope.
