My first experiment in felting on purpose.  It' ok but the handles are too floppy for my taste.  I'll take it to my sisters and see if any of them want it.

It's been crazy.  I don't know if it's Christmas or I just don't feel like blogging.  Mostly the day just slips away from me so I don't have time. 

Tomorrow we are going to my in-laws for Christmas.  The difference between his family and mine is so strange for me sometimes.  In my family there are a lot of kids and some grandkids now too.  There are spouses and sometimes even some friends, like this year one of my sisters is bringing some international students that can't make it home for Christmas.  So lots of chaos and noise and fun.  At my husband's side it's quiet and kind of boring.  My husband's brother will be 38 in January and there are no children between him and my 10 year old daughter.  It's a much smaller family and his Aunt, who is a nice person, keeps trying to get people to debate subjects.  I wouldn't mind having a lively discussion with her at other times but at Christmas dinner I'd rather talk about happy things.  I find that Christmas more stressful than my family and my husband probably feels the opposite. 

I finished the test crochet!  I like it mostly.  It is a little boring doing the same thing for 42" and because I'm big I don't think it fits me as well as it would someone smaller.  When I write my notes to the designer I will mention this.  It's time to finish my sweater.  I have to find where I put the instructions.  I know I put them somewhere safe but I'm not sure where that safe place is.  I kind of tried it on and it looks like it will fit at least a little.  I may not be able to button it but that's o.k. since I wear my sweaters open most of time. 

I've been watching  tons of Running Man.  I loved the Big Bang episodes.  It was so sweet to see G-Dragon smile, he doesn't much in his videos.  I even watched them with my daughter and she enjoyed them as well. BoA was on two episodes and she is so pretty.  Since I have watched the older episodes, it's fun to see them making references to the those episodes and feeling like I'm getting an in joke.  When Jae-suk and Haha are in the Alice in Wonderland episode making fun of the super power episode saying "The one who snores all night" just cracked me up.  It was also funny when they were in the "escape from jail" episode and they got handed dumplings to eat, almost all of them said "what is this, Old Boy?"  A lot of the time I feel like the humor has a "you had to be there feel," so it's hard to explain to other people.  

Hopefully the roads will be clear tomorrow and the kids behave at great grandma's.
