I started Atkins yesterday after a week on slim fast. So far everything is still go. AHHHHH why is this bag taking forever? I think it has a lot to do with time- I have none. I feel very busy and hungry for sweets, other than that I only really have time to knit right before bed. I hope I can pull through this slump. I want to get to work on the Christmas gifts!

My "tweed" bag that is taking forever!!!! Oh, and note to self... cats like bamboo needles so keep them hidden. 

I went to a Mardi Gras themed Christmas Party and I had my palm read along with tarot. But the most amazing part is the palm reading. I was told that I have a hobby that I stopped for a while but that I need to pick it back up so that it may become more rewarding. WHOA! I totally stopped knitting for like a year and I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Hmmm... if that was right maybe I am also going to have those 3 kids she said.

Well, I am still working on the bag. This is taking a lot longer than I originally thought. I decided to make mittens for my aunt also some socks. I am going to put a twist on the mittens (something Grandma taught me) .

I am still working on my knit bag. I went to Sophie's Yarns to buy some needles and of course I left spending $79. I bought 2 bamboo circular needles, a needle case, and some yarn to make wrist warmers. I think I may give those to my aunt. Who knows. Christmas is 22 days away and the worst part is I spent over $400 paying bills today and we don't get paid again until the 23. So I will be credit carding up my gifts this year. Because I just bought my house I am gonna squeel poor and cheap my gifts up.

I'll post a picture of the bag when I get farther into it, right now it just looks like a block.
