Starbuck Knitted Coffee Mugs

Have you bought your knitted coffee mug from Starbucks?
On Saturday, I walked in and a workers said "Oh, it matches your purse!" Needlesstosay I bought one for home and one for the office.
I was really impressed since I generally frequent other coffee shops. I sat and knitted on my December socks for a while then went to my LYS to show the mug to the owner. She was going to send her husband to get one. She told me that they had yarn decorations so I had to go back this morning to check them out. Plus, I got a hot chocolate and danish and knitted on my socks again...I'm determined to get these finished.
WTG Starbucks for recogizing us knitters/crocheters!!!

Bella's Mittens & Beanie

I finished Bella's Mittens and a somewhat matching ear flap beanie. I modified the Ear-Warming Cables Beanie pattern from the Knit a Dozen Beanies. When I wrapped her gift I put a picture of Bella wearing them in the movie in the box. She really liked Jacob's hat so maybe I'll make that after the holidays.

New Puppy

My 13 yo daughter, Ally, got an early Christmas present...a 9 1/2 week old West Highland White Terrier (Westie)...her name is Sassy. We are already have a 3 yo Westie, Daisy and she is my puppy. They are getting along great and Daisy is very patient with her but still puts Sassy in her place. Since it is so cold outside 9 with windchill of -9, we decided to use potty pads. Sassy is only about 4 lbs and gets a chill quick. She has been using the pads regularly but still has her accidents too. She is a sweet but sassy little pup. Needlesstosay Ally is extremely happy with her present and has been a very good mommy to her.

Ally, Sassy and Daisy.

Oak Yarn Swift

I asked hubby if he would make me a swift. Of course, he didn't know what it was so I showed him this and printed off the directions. The next day I hear him in his shop cutting and sanding, he makes a trip to Home Depot, I could smell the stain and then a couple days later he brings up my Oak Yarn Swift. He made it with stuff he already had and said it cost only $2.00 to make!!! I am so proud of my new swift and my talented husband. I just wish (and so does my daughter) that I would have had him make it a few years ago.
