I made stockings!! Of course since Gary and I are now on our own, we didn't have any stockings. Our stockings from childhood remain at our parents' houses. This would just not do for me, so in traditional fashion I decided to make us some. I thought about knit, but in the end I decided to go for a sewn fabric version. I found some red velvet on sale and some goldish rope. Of course, still sewn all by hand.... still waiting for that sewing machine! The two on the left are the finished versions. The terrible one on the right was the trial version. They still aren't completely finished, I'm going to sew a "G" and an "M" on them, you know... to make them official. :)
This weekend we have been visited by a great and long time friend, David, Dave, Gustav... one in the same! Mostly while he has been here we have done some Christmas decorating. He has helped us put lights up outside our house and also inside and removed the piles of leaves from our backyard. We worked on sanding and painting the kitchen cabinets too. Now, before you feel like we just worked him to death, there was also a surprise early birthday gift for Gary that was also a gift for David!! Playstation 3 with Gran Tourismo 5. Talk about faces of little kids in a candy shop... when they saw what it was I could have sworn one of them was going to pass out! Needless to say, playing the game was a major part of the weekend. Oh and Gary already wore down the battery on the wireless controller, that is why he is sitting so close to the TV... so it can charge back up.
Hope you enjoyed the update! We are sad David's trip has to be so short, but so glad he was able to come! Congratulations on your Graduation Dave, Mechanical Engineer.until next time....
