Scheduling Six, Welcoming '07 and Knitting Eight

Six - Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 9:00 p.m. central time to be exact.  My brother Nolan and my sister-in-law Georgia's office/guest room re-do will air on Design on a Dime on HGTV.  I have seen it in person and it turned out great.  Tune in or TiVo!

Seven - Happy New Year!  I think it is going to be a good one.  I have a mental list of goals for the year and am looking forward to putting it all down on paper so I can assess my success (or lack there of) in 364 days.  They mostly have to do with getting organized, staying organized, not over-committing and taking better care of myself.  And limiting my tendancy to procrastinate - I know I can't make it go away.

Eight - Knitted Ski Hats for the guys or how I spent my carpool/soccer practice/TV time in November and December.  All knitted in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran.  The pattern is my own.

My family on New Year's Day - all wearing hats knitted by me.

OK - that's it for the gifts.  Phew!  I had fun making them, but am looking forward to making a few things for myself.  2007 is going to be good indeed.
