My Christmassy books arrived!  I love Christmas.  I love reading.  And I love mail-order bride stories.  Yay!  So far I've read the first novella and it was so sweet!  I'm in the mood for sweet ;)

 

On the TV::::

 

After a long week of sickness, we got of the house a bit to take the girls to see "Trolls".

It was such a cute movie with great music.  Here's a little taste:

What I am creating at the moment::::

Granny Squares!  I have a beautiful pile of granny squares that will turn into an afghan for my Aunt Donna.

 

I'm using Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn Stonewash.  It is a gorgeous yarn to work with!

 

 

 

 I have 30 squares completed and only need 5 more.  I only need one more granny of the berry color and I'm cutting it QUITE close on the yarn.  I hope I have enough because 1.)  I really want to get this finished and 2.)  Hobby Lobby is an hour away.  I really don't want to have to drive an hour for just one skein of yarn!  (Who am I kidding?  It would be just one skein coming home with me!)

 

I'm also still working on Demelza but don't have any new pictures to show you.  I need one more panel and then the center square.  After I get them crocheted, I have some ends to tie in before next Thursday when the joining portion of the CAL comes along.  Hopefully next week, I'll be able to show you what the complete Demelza is going to look like!  So excited!

 

We'll also be starting a new CAL (Crochet-a-long) on December 1st in the Pippin Crochet Club facebook group.  It will be Bonnie Barker's Holiday Cable Throw which is a free pattern on Ravelry and Redheart.com .  Here's a intro video from Bonnie:
