Dag.
Was going to head to Halifax this weekend with Jay & Lisa but the forecast has changed and the weather looks terrible for travelling. More time for working on Christmas gifts, I guess.

Neat
Funny that I've recently gotten back to knitting, and it has seen quite a resurgence at any rate... anyhow, here's what Starbucks has for Christmas ornaments this year - balls of yarn....

The warm yet rainy & windy weekend
Had a tasty breakfast and caught up with Keith and Dan L on saturday morning, switched my tickets to see Chicago from the Saturday evening show to the Wednesday evening show, picked up a ticket to see The Vinyl Cafe at the Imperial in February, enjoyed a fun afternoon trip with Mare to the Cricket Cove in Black's Harbour (where I found some perfect yarn to make a scarf for dad for Christmas),then we headed East to get fancy coffees at Starbucks. Picked up green thai curry from the Thai Hut and rented Becoming Jane and Across the Universe. I settled in for the evening and got started on Christmas gifts.
Sunday was more crafting of gifts (it's torture not to be able to talk about what I'm working on or show pictures) and I went to the early matinee to see the new Bond film, which I enjoyed. After that I got some groceries and then rushed home to get back to work on things. I've been watching the making of the Lord of the Rings Appendices as background stuff. Talk about inspiring!!

Finally finished the dress
I'd started this in September and then had to bring my sewing machine in to get fixed. Since then, I've been distracted with knitting projects. I finally pulled the sewing machine back out tonight (and boy does it ever run smoothly now!!) and finished the dress that I'd started. The pattern is a Hilary Duff pattern from McCalls and I've modified it a bit - adding about 6 inches to the bottom of it so it's a decent length for the office. The front is pleated. It's pretty comfy. I'm looking forward to wearing it, although it's been chilly enough at the office lately that I'll probably need a sweater.

Quiet Long Weekend with Mom
We had a lovely long weekend and I finished my cream mittens and started a pair of blue ones...
Over the course of our 4-day weekend, we watched A Prairie Home Companion, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, Being Julia, Pride and Prejudice (the one with Keira Knightly), Season One of How I Met Your Mother, and Layer Cake, as well as a bit of HGTV....
We also listened to some podcasts of CBC Radio's The Vinyl Cafe, we spent 3 hours in the Cricket Cove (yarn shop) in Black's Harbour, visited St. Andrew's and had a lovely lunch, made it out to Michael's craft store and Fabricville, got fancy coffees, pereused the knitting section at Indigo books, had pad thai, made pizzas and had Jay & Lisa over for dinner, and generally just relaxed. It was an ideal "girl's weekend".
