short and stout

Check it out – the piggie teapot and tea that my Secret Better Pal sent! For those of you who are unfamiliar with these swaps, it is run much like a secret Santa complete with guidelines, including spending limits. Well, my pal is a rulebreaker – she is thumbing her nose at spending limits. She don’t need no stinkin’ spending limits. F*** spending limits is what she says. (my pal has a mouth on her let me tell you what)

You all know who I think my pal is, ahem. Tell me, who do you think it is? and why?

Are you all jealous about my best-pal-in-the-world?

Would it put you right over the edge to hear that I had the house to myself for the entire weekend?

That I did nothing but go out to eat and knit with girlfriends?

D#1’s school held a siblings’ weekend. Boar took D#2. Except for giant traveling fiascos on their trip home (their plane was delayed for 7 hours!) they all had a great time.

Me too!

did you count them up? only one more repeat and the front is finished – maybe there is hope for a Christmas deadline yet!

“Are You My Secret Pal?” It’s a question for the ages… or at least the next few weeks! Woohoo, I can’t WAIT!!

I’m with Vicki. I can’t wait until you find out who your pal REALLY is!!

The sweater is looking good – I think you’ll get it done. And what a cute teapot!

Wow! What an adorable teapot!

And Ann, may I just say, YOU ROCK!!!!!! Way to go on that sweater! Boss it around, and tell it who’s in charge!

You go girl!

And yes, you have the best-est secret pal!

Sweater is awesome…probability for finishing by Xmas is looking gooooood…

I take it Poe has stopped “helping”? Loved that pic of him chewing…

Cute piggy!!

I want YOUR secret pal next time! Yeah, spending limits be damned.

Good job on the knitting! With a weekend to yourself it’s no wonder you did so much knitting. You do have a great pal and I think you are right on target.

I do so wish I could get my act together to do a Secret Pal-ish type of thing. I love that teapot!

Hey, I collect teapots you know! That is a cute one. Great for a pig lover. I’m still thinking of knitting that tea cozy that you sent me the link for. To cover my sheepy teapots, cuz I collect sheepy things too! :)

I want a weekend free to knit. Next time you get one, I’ll expect my invite.
