Yes, I have been knitting this blasted thing for eons. It's Almost Done, though. The knitting is All Done, and it's currently in the tub getting a soak.

True Blood Faery Buttons!

We're Almost Ready for Christmas around here. We're having our big annual Solstice Dinner on Saturday, so I've got a lot of cooking to do. Of course there will be photos, so stay tuned.

Here are a couple of photos from our tree decorating this year.

Why yes, we do open a bottle of champagne for the tree decorating!

And now, just for your listening pleasure:
