Tonight I did a little bit of finishing up some small knitting things I did yesterday.  I did them both with my HSKS swap yarn!  The little sweater was made with the yarn from my swap partner Lavender Ollivander.  And the heart was made with yarn from my Random Act of Kindess package that Ophelia Ballycastle sent me!

And Jimbo didn’t really seem too thrill to pose for the photo, but hey, I took the photo anyway.

And here’s a picture of my Christmas tree (see I really did get one).

After looking at this photo, it looks like I don’t have a whole lot of ornaments on the tree.  The ornaments are those smaller round ornaments, so they seem to look a little like the lights on the tree.

And I got my HSKS House award!  Check it out!

And on that note, I’m going to drink a bunch of nyquil and try and sleep tonight.

Oh!  Before I forget, tomorrow night is the luminaria down on Lake Washington and the Argosy Christmas boat.   Hopefully I’m feeling good enough to go down there for a few minutes and take some pictures!

And today when I got home, I found , in my mailbox, a Random Act of Kindness from the HSKS swap!  Thanks Vanesa!  When I can actually lift things again, I’ll get around to posting a photo.

As I was watching one of my new favorite tv shows (Summer Heights High) yesterday, I saw these:

Those promos make me so happy.  And if you have HBO, please watch Summer Height High.  It’s brilliant.
