I haven't gotten them all dressed yet I still have a few to do These will remain in sets For obvious reasons (I hope☺) Next up......... it's skis, skates and snowballs!

Besides work, which ended up being 5 Mondays in a row this past week=( I have been working on a few things . Penguins A little dragon baby in back there, waiting on legs☺ Some simple little Christmas earrings I am also crocheting some wash cloths for my Mom's husband (to go in his newly remodeled bathroom) and a neckwarmer for Mom.

Now..... I am not a huge on-line shopper. I am a firm believer in Buy Alaska and I am a permit holder in the Made in Alaska program. That being said, being in Alaska, there are a few things I need that I can't come by here. A good example is that I buy Premo! in the 1 pound block. I haven't found it anywhere here, so I order it from Polymer Clay Express . You might think that it costs me a fortune to have several pounds of clay shipped to Alaska. But I order from this company for several reasons: their prices are good, they are always very prompt in shipping, they take the time to write little thank you comments on every s...
