This week is too short!

This week has been too short. I still have nothing ready for Christmas. And I don't really care. We have not even put up a tree this year-I was too sick at Thanksgiving so we didn't bother with it. We didn't even get each other a lot of stuff. I got what I wanted. I had one of the cheap beka childrens looms-but have never got much use from it. I have like 8 different sized heddles for it and thought I would use it for trims and belts. It just never seemed that easy to use. And a couple of weeks ago I found an easy weaver from Harrisville designs at the fleamarket-in perfect condition. They only wanted $30 dollars for it and it was still in the box. Those things are $100 bucks for this size.And its way easier to use than the other and I can now put all those heddles to work and make some small things-I can also learn to card weave. I've got a deck of weaving cards and several books on it. I can't sit in and use the other larger looms much-its hurts my back. Something small I can hold on my lap, like my little weavettes looms. Of course I will have to wait until after Christmas to start anything.

And he got what he wanted-shoes. Do we sound like we give presents to each other-not really! We get so many things during the year that it seems silly to buy more at Christmas. And the hubby knows my favorite gift is yarn anyway. He just doesn't like to buy it for me-he thinks I have enough, silly man.

One important thing I've learned today-don't varnish things in the house, no matter how small. It was only a few spindles I wanted to varnish after I had painted little designs on them. It's not so bad once the can is closed but the smell was bad while doing them-they are going outside till they dry. I didn't really have a choice either smell it for a little or stay outside in the cold and do it-no place else to work around here. I also needed to put a bit on some of my boughten spindles to protect them. They get so banged up. Anyway I am off, have some cooking and dishes to do-funs over. I do like to cook, but I hate dishes. That's all the piddly news here for now.
