Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeww!

I know, I know...
Bad Blogger!!! Bad Bad Blogger...

I have been so busy, it's been maddening... but I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel... or is that only dust in my eye? Hmm...

W ell, first things first, my dental visit...
and my first chance to play Mrs. Claus...  (I love this part!!!!)

"Dr. CutiePie" is a gamer.  Now, he's an XBox360 Gamer... but I can't even begin to imagine a character from XBox that I would/could due any form of justice to via crochet...
so.. I went with SackBoy.
 
   (Pattern by RichmondArt: SackBoy Pattern)
 
Sure Sure.. I could have done Mario.. or PacMan (old schooled it..) but they aren't XBox either...
besides, his favorite game at the moment is Guitar Hero.. or was it.. Rock Band...
Hmm... 

I forget...  which is why I got him a gift card for Game Stop, so he could get whatever he wanted!
Me, I just stick to my air guitar!!

And... of course, I couldn't forget Katie
(his secretary/receptionist/office manager/all around go-to-gal)


OH ... ALRIGHT, alright.
YES!! it's MY type of pressie!!!

But I don't know a single woman who wouldn't appreciate some good chocolate... and a ice-cold cup of coffee!!! 
(Well, okay - but Katie likes Iced Coffee too!! - Must be a New England thang!)
(Kitty Pattern By StripeyBlue: Alley Cats)

Then, of course, there was a tree to decorate...


Each year, it has been the one and only thing I ask for from Mr. Doodle.  
I am not to much a material gal - I enjoy the simple things... and having a live tree at Christmas is the most 'simple' and (to me) traditional.

...

but ... had I known that 3 more Christmas pressies would just seem to appear overnight... I would have decorated it even faster!!!
(Doll Pattern By CreaMe: Fairy Doll)




Aren't they just the sweetest???  The 2 smaller dolls (peach and lilac) were done using a Size 1 steel hook with worsted weight yarn.. and the larger one (pink - which is for a 3 year old) was used with a larger hook... I want to say a C hook, but not entirely sure as of this writing.. 

I'm having a hard enough time just remembering what I did this morning when I got up.....

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
that's right...


I figured, since there wasn't much else I could do.. and since my hands are hurting so very much from crocheting like a mad fiend!! (There is another smaller pink fairy which is about 85% done, but still needs wings, tiara, and wand... I think I will work on that tomorrow night-talk about pushing the Christmas Eve deadline huh?)...
....
I started my baking.. FINALLY!!


This is the box of goodies went with Hubby to work this morning... and boy do they ever need the sugar rush!!! (hee hee)

There are 3 different kinds of chocolate chip cookies, as well as butter cookies, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, 
brownies  ... and my own little touch of Italy.. Pistachio Loaves and Almond Biscotti
(my Nonna's recipe *grin*)

Yeah... I'm sure this was a welcomed *surprise* this morning when they all had to show up at 6AM... Yes, 6!! On a Sunday...

oh?  Did I forget to mention??  Why is it that "
wasn't much else I could do" a mere 4 days before Christmas?
Well Mr. Doodle and crew are on "Storm Hours".. which means 18 hours on.. 6 off - for rest..
because it started snowing Friday afternoon at about 2:30 and hasn't stopped yet.. LOL


And you want to know the SADDEST PART...
we probably still won't have a "White Christmas"...

Tomorrow it is supposed to snow in the AM... then turn to rain and sleet by mid-afternoon...
then Wednesday night... Christmas Eve... there is a 60% chance of RAIN!!

*sigh*

Well, at least I will have the photo to prove it was almost a White Christmas here in New England ... 


Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings Doodlers..

May your holiday be bright and all your wishes come true!

This is the time of year we can actually pass ourselves, at least that's the way I feel. Can I please ask you what pattern you used for the dolls? My grandaughter would love them.
Thank You

Tom is on a diet so no goodies here this year. but i think i will get just a few for myself since we are not going anywhere and none of the kids are coming. J have already made my Santa run to see the grandkids and seen to it they had the money cards so that way they cann get what they want . The tree is very nice maybe i will pull out the small one just to see the lights. have a great Christmas and a great New Year

Doesn't it just suck having rain in December? They're calling for rain here on Christmas Day. Ugh. It's winter people! What's with the rain? And flooding? *sighs*

Very nice job, I am impressed! I wish I had your energy. I am trying to get an afghan finished for my son's girlfriend. She just told me she would like "one of those blankets that you make".

Yesterday I made 40 dozen cookies after church. I had the dough already made, it was just a ton of cooking. I kept hoping the power would stay on. You got all the snow, here in Northwest Ohio, we got ice on Friday morning and it is still here (1/4-1/2"). With today's winds, I hope the power stays on.
