Yay, It's December!

Well, now that it is December - I'm not taking any more pictures every day.  That got to be too much trouble.  So I'll just add as I feel like it.  Last weekend Jann and I went to the Norman Philharmonic's Winter Concert.  It was held in my church. We sat in the balcony so we could "see" better. The cost of the ticket ($10) was to help provide free nights at the Food and Shelter for Friends here in Norman (for the homeless families).

 

One of the little girls that Kaitlyn used to play soccer with had a dad that is a dentist here in Norman.  I saw this sign outside his building the other day and told Kaitlyn about it.  Apparently, he doesn't want to hire a Dental Hygienist, only dental assistants, who not only don't have to have a college degree they don't even have to go to college.  So remember that the next time you are going to a dentist, do you want someone working on your teeth that is not a RDH (registered dental hygienist), with a degree to back them up.

 

 

 

I went into Hobby Lobby the other night (I'm getting crafting fever again) and was rummaging around in the fabric department and found some cream/red chevron material.  I bought one yard so I'll have it next football season.....

 

Yesterday, I drove to Guthrie to use my Groupon that I purchased last summer.  I ended up taking a class (mitered square cowl) which I will post a picture of when I get more of it made.  I also did some antiquing in a few of their many antique stores there.  I found this little pitcher and couldn't remember if it was mom or Granny that had the same one.  I vividly remember someone making tea in it.  So I bought myself one.  I also saw many of the brown dishes that mom bought at the grocery store when I was little and that I eventually inherited and left with Merry when I moved to Oklahoma.  They want lots of money for that old stuff!!  I also saw a set of Lorna's dishes that she got when she first got married - Pfaltzgraf "Villager".  I couldn't help but smile when I saw them.  I remember she had EVERYTHING ever invented to go with that set.

I am also making one of these scarves.  It is EXTREMELY easy to make.  You can buy the yarn at Wal-mart and I purchased some more of it at Michael's this morning - it is on sale this week.  There is a video on YouTube that shows you how to do it and you can make one in about an hour - that's how easy it is. 

 

This afternoon, I'm working the annual Advent Festival at my church like I do every year. This year I'm working with middle schoolers making a necklace out of recycled t-shirts.
