Thanksgiving is Coming

My Mom is visiting for Thanksgiving. We have been shopping a lot for x-mas gifts for the boys and also going out to lunch. I was hoping to take her some place like Alcatraz Island but it has been raining since she got here :( We are hoping it clears up for next week.

I have been very busy this fall with boy scout treasury work. I am also part of a small group that is rewriting our by-laws and procedures. So far so good. We have a meeting every week or so to turn in what we have done and get new assignments. It is keeping me busy.

I've also been knitting up a storm. I'm in the process of making Christmas stocking for the boys and I just got done with a cosmetic bag that my Mom helped me line and put a zipper in.

I finished the shawl for Mr.V's mother.

I made a hat for Mr.V's mother to match her shawl ;)

And finally I am making felted slippers for my Mom. This is a really rough view of them. They will look like normal slippers when they are done, REALLY.

Blizzcon 2010

I have not posted in so long. I kind of have a back log of pictures. So John and I went to blizzcon and had a great time.

We mostly sat in on WoW conferences but also a few Diablo discussion as well. It was my turn this year to stand in line for t-shirts. It is quite a task but I did not mind because it's a great time for people watching. I also got myself a special treat.

Now Grrgie has a girlfriend. I haven't figured out a name for her yet.
