More Christmas fun with the Griswalds

Today was a pretty uneventful day.   I did see something interesting.  A couple of years ago I used to make jewelry.  One local store contacted me and asked me to do a few pieces for them, so I did.  They paid me and I never heard from them again.  I did try and contact them and I didn’t hear back.  I just assumed that they weren’t selling that fast and went on with my business.  Today I walked into a jewelry store and saw that this woman who contacted me, that I made the necklaces for her store, has done a similar necklace.  She changed enough of the design so that I can’t sue her.  But it’s a rip off of my former work.  And a cheap rip off at that.  I would say the name of the store, but she’s not worth it.  My boss knew her and apparently had some interaction with her as well.  She’s not a nice person and thinks way too highly of herself.  I strongly believe in karma and what goes around comes around.  So, (insert store owner’s name her), karma’s a bitch.  And you being a crafter, know how hard it is to make money and get established for creating something special that people want, should be ashamed of yourself.  I won’t be giving you an business and I will tell my friends to not shop at your store and why.

And on a much happier note, we have a new entry into the Griswald family Christmas light display.  This one is also in my neighborhood.  The house, has the coolest tree house with slide I’ve ever seen.  I am totally jealous of the tree house.  But at night… the house transforms to this:

That’s the front of the house.  And here’s the side of the house:

Also, I got up this morning, walked into the living room to see Kink doing this:

I’m not sure what happened before I got to the living room but it appears that what ever it was she was really happy afterwards.

as far as knitting goes, I’m current working on two of the Fuzzy Mitten’s Lambs.  They’re super easy, super fast and super cute.  And I also just started Just Call Me Ruby’s Cable and Chains jacket.
