Christmas "Break"

 Happy Holidays! We celebrated a nice Christmas at home and it was wonderful.

I spent a lot of time cooking, hanging out, knitting, taking walks and enjoying some down time. I didn't take off work but most of my company did so it's very quiet and exactly what I needed. I don't mind working a little bit every day and saving my days off for summer time. 

I got a ton of knitting done on my Felix Cardigan. It's sooooo soft! For anyone that wants to make their first cardigan, this is a perfect pattern to try.

Here's my cardigan next to my work laptop. See? Fitting in the fun things between work isn't hard to do over Christmas break week :) Don't tell! I am now knitting the sleeves and will go back and add the button band and collar. I have a feeling I'm going to need to order more yarn. I always do that!!!!

I don't know what these flowers are but aren't they beautiful? I bought three bunches at Wholefoods and put them together. They're so pretty!

It's been very cold over the past week and I really enjoy taking walks when it's cold. I bundle up and head out with Buddy. I'm always hot these days so I don't mind the cold. This is the pond at the top of our road. We call it "Neighbor Mike's" pond. It froze over this week but I don't know how thick it was so we stayed off of it.

The Sherman Girl Husbands!

I took Buddy for a walk in Allaire State Park. I love walking through the village.

Now back to our pond. It was frozen a few inches deep in the shallow end so I let the boys go out on it. They had fun just sliding around. 

My pup gave us a good scare. He didn't feel good at all Monday-Wednesday. I was a wreck.

After a frantic call and vet visit, we think he'll be ok. Not sure what he got into but he was a sick pup. He's on the mend and I'm not crying every minute...so that's good! 

This was him late Wednesday feeling so much better. He's still recovering but acting much more like himself today. Poor guy. 

I'm looking forward to our Patreon Zoom tonight. I really love our group and I've missed them all month!

Hope you all are enjoying your Christmas "break"!
