The First Tong Christmas

I wasn’t about to let some stupid shoulder injury keep me from decorating for Christmas, so today Paul and I went all out and got the house decorated (and kind of torn apart in the process. We’re purging some of our bigger items and made room for a Christmas tree (although it’s a tiny one)

Even the wheel got some Christmas Lovin’

Our very first Christmas tree!

A few of my favorite ornaments

I also made a few crochet snowflakes, and I’m planning on making a garland to hang between the kitchen and the living room.

I think I am going to block them and starch them so that they hang a bit nicer and not as bunchy. But we’ll see if I get around to it. I only have 3 done so far, but they are pretty quick and easy.

Merry Christmas!

Ouch!

So, I’ve got what the doc says is “stress-related frozen shoulder” which is really, REALLY painful and prevents me from doing fun stuff like knitting (and necessary things like dressing myself). So, sorry about there not being a WIP Wednesday yesterday, but it might be up to two weeks before it becomes unstiff and moveable again so knitting and crocheting are taking a back seat to sitting on the couch and watching Heroes. Which I guess is ok.

Paul and I are just a whole bunch of fun, what with his torn ligaments in his ankle and my frozen shoulder. We’re kind of pathetic right now.

That’s all. Happy Thursday and can’t wait for the weekend.
