- Laptop bag
- Lil' Mynx removable dance pole
- Alex + Chloe "Brunette" necklace -- which I promptly misplaced. I am inconsoleable.
- 6 French Dressing hidden scoopneck camisoles (black, white, nude, pink, green, brown)
- PS2 SSX Snowboard game and Snowboard accessory thingie. I can now pretend I am my hero in the comfort of my own livingroom.
- An anthropologie giftcard.
- Some $$, which I will spend on voodoo magic bullshit sneakers (MBTs) from Bliss.
- Two fantastic jackets and a skirt, all three of which I love, but all three are two big for me! Which, I suppose, is it's own gift, but kind of a bummer nonetheless.
- A garden tool kit.
- A coffee vacuum cannister.
- A basket for cut flowers.
- A shawl.
- Some books from my wishlist.
- A mini tripod thingie (yay!!)
- A Rudolf nightlight of awesomeness.
- ...a bunch of other goodies; far more than I deserved.
The more I look at this pattern, the more I covet this sweater. I think it's going to have to be my next project. That thought horrifies me of course because... it's huge! I'm afraid to start something that big. What if I don't finish it? Also, I'm afraid the yarn will cost a fortune.
Hm.
Still.
It's so pretty. And it's bulky yarn, so it'll knit up relatively quickly.
What color do you think I should do? I'm thinking Lamb's Pride Bulky Aztec Turquoise or Aubergine. Anybody interested in a KAL? The pattern is available here.

Spent yesterday on my holiday baking: I ended up going with Grandma DeConnick's anise cookies and Chockylit's Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes with Fennel Cream Cheese Icing. I topped the cupcakes with chocolate-covered cherries purchased from Nuts Online. (Fraction pointed out that it's amazing that they got that url.) The cupcake recipe is available at the Cupcake Blog.
I just realized I didn't end up taking any pictures of the cookies. Oops.
Also on the Homemaking Arts bent: my meathead hat was chosen for Larissa's book! Very exciting -- except that now I'm going to need to knit another one as the meathead has become my default hat this winter and my head will freeze without it. No worries. I think I'll make a black and purple one to go with my coat.
Shall we plan on starting the bookclub in January? I hate to add to anyone's stress during the holiday season.
