WIP'S 

                                     REJOICE FOR THE HATS ARE FINISHED !!!!

ON THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS EVE

It has been too hectic!!  No time to enjoy the season.  I have been having trouble with my right eye with lots of 'floaters' and real pain!  So today the surgeon saw me.  He said all was well with my retinas!  and to do double steriods!  drops... 

I had a late order for 4 berets, but they are so cute.And a baby sweater set. Fortunaely I had the sweater-- only needed the hat and booties if I can get them done tonight. I finished the hat while waiting for the doctor! And the last beret is almost done.

My husband still has a bad ear infection, he is on 2nd round of antibiotics. And he got a shot too.

I have a tree leaning on my house waiting to come in and get decorated!  But I get off at 2 tomorrow so I hope I can pull it off.

I hope Everyone has a Blessed and Happy Christmas!

New Vision

I have new vision!  I had the second cataract surgery done Tuesday, and It is so amazing!  I could see better on the way home and the next day it was already great.  It feels as good as Lasik.  All I need are some cheaters for close work and computer.

I have been knitting and finishing off stuff. I started the cutest Bear Hood for my 3 yr old grandaughter.  And am making anoter beret. Can't wait till I can wear eye makeup again.  But this is so good.

SEEING CHRISTMAS THRU NEW EYES

Sorry it has been soo long. But I have one eye down and one to go next Tuesday!  the cataract surgery was a breeze,  It is just trying to coordinate the new with the old. Tomorow I start drops in the right eye. 

I hope everyone had a good holiday.  I cooked but we went to dad's to eat. 

I did get some work done on my knitting and crocheting, but I really slept alot. Tthis week is busy, realizing I have gifts left to make. Tomorrow is our annual Service award luncheon.  we close the place down at 11:30 am and leave for the restaurant.  Nice Party!  Then Saturday is the Big Birthday!
Yep folks, the big 65 !!  My hubby took the day off for me, I don't know what we will do but it doesn't matter.  We so seldom get a whole day together.

I have a great beret, that is already sold, I 'll get a pic. and several pair of boot cuffs, a gorgeous headband, out of the new Isaac Mizrahi yarn, and more to finish.
