Happy Holidays

Christmas preparations are complete here at Pantheon Acres.

The puppies had various reactions to the festivities:

Bruce wondered if any of the presents were his.

Tyler says "Bah Humbug!"

Lizzie just treats it as any ole day.

Morganna hung back, wondering what all the fuss was about.

Whatever you celebrate, we wish you all the very best.

The puppies have their own message:

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TOWARDS ALL

AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

 

        

etsy Friday -- Puppy Edition

Only one etsy item this Friday, from Kelly's Delights -- treats for the puppies. Bacon Cheese Mini Dog Treats and Chicken Mini Dog Treats. She bakes them to order and sends them out priority mail. I think the dogs knew that the box was for them before we opened it. There was an extra little knitted ball included.

Bruce was very interested in the treats...

Tyler shows his interest (but will not give up his comfy bed:

Lizzie wanted second taste:

Morganna wouldn't take her eyes off of her daddy hoping for an extra:

But the girls really loved their new ball.

You might think that they lost interest:

But, Lizzie just lost possession:

Stash and Snow

Last night was filled with somewhat surprises -- somewhat because they were expected but fun all the same.

First, I got a delivery from Little Knits.  They had an awesome sale on SWTC Twize (Ravelry).  Its 100% bamboo in a worsted weight.  I got a bag (10 skeins) in "Twack" -- also know as black and white:

      

I also got 2 bags of it in "Twey" which probably should be "gray" but I don't think so.  Look at the color on Little Knits.  And on the actual SWTC site.  And here are my pictures -- first with a flash:

Then with the flash but closer:

And then without the flash:

    

Don't they look different?  Or am I going crazy?  (Its okay to tell me I'm crazy lots of people do.)

I also got some more Sea Silk, in Sterling, but I'm not so sure that it is really silvery... it more of a goldish-gray.  I can't seem to find a picture of this colorway on line, so you'll have to settle for my pictures:

With a flash:

Color corrected: (sorta with PhotoShop Elements)

Without the flash-- in this one it looks the most silvery -- go figure.

And now for the snow party --  we knew that it was going to snow, but we didn't think there would be any accumulation.  But there was and the puppies had fun -- here they are coming in from a romp...

To Do: Get Group Pic with Dogs

As the newest board member of the USEC, I need to provide a picture of me with my Eurasier. No biggie, right? Oh, I can include the Mastiffs too if I want. No problem... right???? Right...

Here are the results:

These were the best of them:

How is it that out of all the pictures the Husband took, there isn't a single one where both the dogs and I look normal?????? Sigh.

Cleaning Up My Act

As you saw in my previous post, I cleared off the KNITTING TABLE OF DOOM!!

I present to you, my dining room table:

No, I didn't just sweep everything off the table onto the floor. I did go through it and organized all my knitting stuff. My sister moved to a smaller place which didn't have room for this:

The dogs were very interested:

So, I gathered up all my knitting stuff - except for my stash ('cause it won't fit in there), organized it and ta da:

Awesome, no? The best part, if things get disorganized again:

Morganna says, "Great Momma, now come cuddle on the couch."
