Happy Day after Christmas
Missed saying Merry Christmas yesterday.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We did not have a white Christmas but the snow is due to fall today.

We were greeted in the morning by a goat miscarriage. Gary found it in the big shed, frozen and in the hay. Looked like an apple he said. It was about 3 months along we estimate (goat gestation is a touch over 5 months). The hooves were perfectly formed even though they were only the size of pencil erasers. Doe seems fine, eager to eat and run around.
All the birds received some bread I had bought after Thanksgiving. Birds _love_ bread. I usually bake something up I call Bertie Bread, named after my cockatiel. I make cornbread and add sunflower seeds and other seeds, and a can of mixed veggies. No time this year. Maybe I will get to make it for New Year's.
Santa Gary gave me 2 cookbooks I cannot wait to try. One is on Amish cooking and the other crockpot cooking. And gift cards to AC Moore and Michaels so I may be able to pair a gift card with a coupon and get some Denise intercnageable needles for cheap. Santa Sharon gifted me with a big set of pyrex refrigerator dishes. Now I have red AND blue and yellow. My MIL gifted me with many many things chicken. I gave holiday soap to all the family.
I finished the purses for the girls just in time, although I neglected to take pictures of them. There were based on this pattern, http://sarahpeasley.com/freepatterns/sistersister.pdf only I made them with fun fur yarn. They were just the right size to hold some gift cards from area stores.
Among other things I gave to my MIL a small neck scarf I had made with ladder yarn. She loved it. I have another ball of it so I can make one for myself too :D
I have this week off from my fulltime job. I hope to get many things done. Not much knitting planned although I am sure I will find something. I have a lot of yarn coming from CO that I may be able to start making something with.
