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!

    So sorry that you’re getting too much snow–please send it down to the San Francisco Bay Area, where we need lots of rain and snow to fill our drought-depleted reservoirs!  Your tree is beautiful.  I think you’re doing a terrific job of getting the Barn Sale orders shipped–you’ve already shipped two of my three orders, and I wasn’t expecting any of them to ship until after Christmas.

    We sang Christmas carols tonight at Purlescence and I bought stuff that rocks…hope the music made it up your way…we were thinking of you! 

    At least you will have a very very white Christmas!

    We’re getting our own snow dump here in Iowa but will take more if you want to send it out our way. Deer do have a habit of eating evergreens. Ours are looking a bit bedraggled due to last year’s nibblers. I have driven your road and hope that everyone is taking it slowly and safely. I can really understand why things may be a bit slow getting out the door. Take your time. I’m sure everyone would rather have all the Blue Moon folks safe than get their yarn a day or two earlier. Most of the US has had some kind of adverse weather in the last 12 months and can understand how weather can slow things down. Happy Holidays and your daughter did a great job on the tree. (See you can let someone else express their tree dreams.) Happy Knitting, Alice

  4. I’ve never heard of a deer nibbling a Christmas tree before! You don’t mind that I find that totally delightful, do you?

    Snow from coast to coast! Sort of like the yarn you are busy spreading!

    I haven’t decided if the weather drama is a good thing or bad?! It forced me to prioritize and let go of some of the holiday pressure.  We now have a tree, decorated by the kids, and are nearly prepared for Santa’s arrival.

    So, here’s a wish for a calm week ahead. Enjoy the company of family and friends.

    Thanks for spreading the holiday yarn and cheer! grin

    It IS snow from coast to coast!  We got over a foot here in upstate NY on Friday, with a few more inches yesterday, more expected today, yet more anticipated tomorrow….great knitting weather!

    Have a wonderful, safe, and cozy warm holiday, Tina.  Thanks for all the yarn-y goodness and cheer you spread all around the world (kinda like a fiber Santa Claus!)! smile
