Busy busy in Santa's little workshop
Today was my day off, AHHH!
Had another lovely visit with Mum and we did some holiday scheming together. She's working on some ornaments that are so cute I can't stand it!I'm sure she'll blog about them eventually, so I won't go into to details, (she blogged!) all I can say is HOLY knitting CUTENESS!
I continued to work on my niece and nephew's memory game sets. I already cut out the cotton backings a few months ago, so today I worked on cutting out the felt layers. Each square gets two pieces of felt for sturdiness. I'm making two sets of 26, so each needed 52 felts squares making a grand total of 104 squares cut out today! Phew! I need a cookie...(luckily I baked some yesterday, HA!)
I also sent out invitations to my Christmas Card Writing party today! Writing out Christmas cards is not one of my favorite traditions. I find it so solitary to sit there, write, stamp, address, get a hand cramp, look at my list and *SIGH* However, I feel socially obligated to send cards because people send them to me. So this year I thought I'd mix it up and invite a bunch of gal pals over to write our cards together. There will be sweets. There will be hot cocoa. There will be conversation and fun and I can shove cake in my face when I have a hand cramp. What is not to love?
Do you have any off the wall holiday gatherings? What do you think of the whole card party idea?
XOXO

I love the idea of the card writing party!
I want to be invited. Although I quite like writting out Christmas cards.
Your friend, Camille
What a great idea - you get a project done (or motivation to do so and inspiration for what to write to those "have to send but we're not that close" folks) and you get to hang out! Good times!
Oh man I wish I could come over to work on my cards too! That sounds like FUN!
