Pemberley's Early Christmas

Since my family had Christmas early, I had to take Pemberley along for the hooplah.  With snow pants and hat securely worn, we drove out to Norwich, Ontario.  Of course, with the weather being cold outside, Pemberly was dressed very well.

Since my family had Christmas early, I had to take Pemberley along for the hooplah.  With snow pants and hat securely worn, we drove out to Norwich, Ontario.  Of course,  Pemberly was dressed very well for the cold weather outside.






After visiting for an hour or so, supper began to get ready for the table.  Of course, Pemberly had to see the turkey before it got cut up.

She didn't want to stick around too long.  It didn't look too good when the big knife came out of the drawer for the carving of the turkey.  Pemberley made a quick dash to the Christmas tree to hide out until everything was ready.

She had a good little chat with the Santa in the tree.  Santa wanted to know what she wanted for Christmas. Pemberley  said Lorna's Lace yarn was yummy to have.  And it's the best thing to get anybody at any time of the year too.  Soon enough it was time to sit at the table and eat.

Before anyone could eat, there were crackers to open.  Inside the cracker was a sewing kit and a riddle.   Why did the cookie go to the hospital?  Because it felt crumby.  That's a bad joke.

Nom, nom, nom, nom.......Yummy food!  Turkey, turnip, potatoes, stuffing, peas and salad.  Miss Pemberley had lots of good food to eat and would go hungry for some time.

Then there was dessert. 

All those desserts and so many good treats, it's hard deciding what to eat!  Maybe one of everything and seconds if there's room

After all the eating came presents.  Pemberley had to hide in this gift away from the kids.  She didn't want to get lost in all the wrapping papper.  It was fun to watch though.

Keldar5 did pretty good for Christmas gifts too.  Some candy, money and a gift certificate for a local yarn store.  Pemberley has been suggesting a few yarn choices. 

Maybe on the weekend she'll see the yarn shop and play in the yarn.

Makenzie's Travelling to South Africa

I just got an update from Dancing Starlight about Makenzie.  She's on her way to South Africa.  Before she went there was a family portrait taken.

Here is a monster family portrait, taken just before Keldar5’s Makenzie left for Deepest, Darkest Africa to visit ACandy.

Pemberley gets ready for Christmas

My family decided to have Christmas early this year. Lucky for me Pemberley was here to help with wrapping gifts.  Here's the post from the DangerCraft group on Ravelry.

Hi Momma
It’s been a busy day for me helping my foster Momma. She says that her family is having Christmas really early this year. And she’s going to her sisters for turkey and stuff tomorrow. Today I helped wrap some gifts for her family.

The worse part was that Charlie the horse is a gift to a little girl named Hope. I didn’t want to see him wrapped up. It made me sad to have to say goodbye.

I wanted to crawl inside and get wrapped up too.

To take my mind off Charlie, I went to the park with Pinkie to get a close up look at snow. It was really cold to sit on but we were lucky to have a little blanket to sit on.

Then Momma Keldar5 thought before we left on our car ride tomorrow that I needed to borrow some snow pants to keep warm. They fit so good but they really don’t go with my socks or my new hat.

Tomorrow is going to be fun because I get to eat lots of good stuff. I won’t eat too much. I hope there’s something like BBQ but I don’t know if that’s good Christmas food or not. And I’ll show pictures of what I did later.
Miss you

Pemberley's Snow Day

This week we've had a lot of snow here in London, Ontario.  It's been said that we nearly had as much snow fall on Monday and Tuesday of this week as we did all of last winter.  That's saying a lot.  Of course I couldn't take a snow day from work but Pemberley could.  Her big thing was to "horse" around for the day.  Here's a note that she sent her Momma on the Danger Craft group of Ravelry.

Hi Momma
I’m having fun watching the snow fall. There’s lots on the ground to make snow monster angels in. But I was told I didn’t have any warm clothes for doing that.

So I decided to horse around a little bit with Charlie.

I do have a new little hat for when I go out but no snow pants.

Got to go now, I want to play around with Charlie a little more.

The night Pemberly arrived

A couple of nights ago my newest foster monster arrived in the mail.  I wasn't sure if she'd make through the snow storm we've had over the last week.  To my surprise, she did.  Of course I was working the afternoon shift when the mail was delivered.  And I got her when I arrived home late that night.  Here's the post I put on the Travelling Monsters section of the Danger Craft group.

Hello Momma TwistedString
Foster Momma Keldar5 found me in my suitcase when she got home tonight. She quickly got me inside and gathered the monsters she has to help me out. The big guy is Pinkie, then there’s Screaming Stan and Stink. They helped open the box….

Then Pinkie got to work on my legs because I had cramps in both of them.

It was a few minutes before I could sit up because I was feeling a little dizzy from having my legs moved around. But I manage to finally sit up for a group photo.

Since it’s really late, I might just get some sleep and see what the weather is like here in Canada tomorrow. I’ve been told there’s lots of snow on the ground.
Miss you

Monster Party for Saturday

Dancing Starlight has made another post on the Travelling Monster board.  It seems there was a monster party for Saturday before she was shipped out.  Here's the tale.....

Today, April’s monster, Saturday, left our home in frigid Nebraska to travel to Jennknitfer’s home in sunny California. Saturday didn’t stay here long because he is getting a chance to FLY next week!
First, our entire monster family came out to say goodbye to Saturday:

Keldar5’s Makenzie didn’t want Saturday to leave so soon, but Saturday said he had to go. It is, after all, a rare treat to visit Hawaii.

Kara’s Monster had to help us stuff Saturday into his box. It’s a tight fit for him, but we made it work. :)

Saturday enjoyed spending Thanksgiving with us, and he seems to have gained a little bit of weight after eating all of the food that the kids didn’t eat yesterday. Bon Voyage, Saturday!

Pinkie Look-a-Like

Dancing Starlight posted a very quick pic of Makenzie and some new friends.  The one on the far left looks a lot like Pinkie to me.  Pinkie, of course, is the monster I made.  Take a look and see if it looks like mine.

Who knew there would be look-a-likes of the monsters we all make.
