Snow, snow and yet more snow.
It will not stop snowing. I do not think it is ever going to stop snowing.
The weather is not cooperating at all. It is almost like it has a mind of its own and does not care that we have all of this yarn to get out and yarn to get delivered and we will not even talk about how unprepared I personally am for this upcoming holiday. Did you know that next week is Christmas? I do not think anyone has informed Mother Nature about this or horror of horrors she is perfectly aware and just does not care that she is way early on this one.
I do not want to believe that the latter is true but the evidence is pretty overwhelming at this point.
She had to hear the crying this morning, the weeping and moaning over how I have all of this shopping and errands to run and I keep loosing time to all the havoc that this current winter escapade of hers has caused.
I do not think I can ever remember being so unprepared for Christmas. I love Christmas everything about it, the smells of evergreens and gingerbread baking, the carols and candles and light and family…all of it every single little piece makes my heart joyful. I love giving presents and finding that certain something that brings a light or a smile.
I love the spirit of celebrating light and love at the darkest point of the year.
And while the snow is certainly adding a nice visual and a certain coziness to this wintery holiday, it is also hindering the more practical aspects quite a bit.
I am just not pulling it together and living up to my previous holiday potential, not even close.
The only reason the tree is in the house and decorated is because we had to get it off the porch since we caught the deer eating it.
( who me eat your tree?)
I put the lights on it one evening and Sophie decorated it last night. Which for those of you that know me is no small thing. ( I fell asleep after telling her I would be right there)
I decorate the tree. Actually I like to think of it as orchestrating decorating the tree It is an artistic thing with me and well, it has to be what I think it should be. I have a very clear Christmas tree vision. It is a family joke. We have a video of my son at about age 6 and I doing this “together” . Yeah, they all laugh when we play this but I for one do not see what is so funny, Christmas tree decorating is serious business.
I think I need to work on letting go, yet again about the letting go.
Sophie did a lovely job!
Well, I started writing this post to tell you where were in shipping out the sale yarn and how we were doing on Sock Club registration. Obviously I have other things on my mind.
Today we are getting a whole lot of packages shipped. Which is awesome because evidently we are in for another heavy snow hit this weekend. The snow is putting quite a damper on progress here in blue moon land. We are up high in elevation so we get quite a bit. This makes shipping more of a challenge. Actually it makes getting to work more of a challenge. Please know that we are doing our absolute best to get you your yarn in a timely manner.
On the Sock Club front we seem to have worked the bugs out of the system and things are rolling merrily along.
If you had issues or need help please do not hesitate to contact us at
thanks for your patience!
