My Last Tribe Gift and Soaring Eagles

I posted the last 11 beanie, I didn't get to finish the 12 beanie, in total I knitted 23 beanies for the Soaring Eagles Project. A friend from knitters Guild knitted 3 beanies which I sent with my lot. I will check out the site later and see how many beanies she has collected so far, I really do hope people can knit a beanie or two for this wonderful project.

I received my last Tribe gift the other week, some lovely knitpicks Shadow and dye your own, along with knitpick cirular needles, a wonderful Blue Day book, and other wonderful things.


A friend and fellow tribe member send a lovely Christmas Card with two cute little puppies and a crochet Christmas Stocking with my most favourite Lifesavers "Musk" flavour, a Christmas Cane Candy, and Caramello Bear, which didn't last for the photo. The crochet stocking to hold them is so cute and will get a special place on the Tree.

Today I started Christmas shopping, I had an accrued leave day off work, I amazed myself, the "I hate shopping" person, I arrived at the shopping centre at 9.40am, got a few things, then off to another one about 15 minutes drive to get some more things, all going well, then drove to DH's worksite to swap cars with DH so I could along with #2 son take the trailer full of rubbish to the tip, a couple of groceries on the way home, and all before 3pm. #2 son loaded trailer onto car and off to the tip to get rid of the rubbish. I got more than 1/2 my Christmas shopping done. And not a headache in sight, I am really pleased with myself.
