I can say that this Christmas was a very good one for my family. I enjoyed being with my family we ate lots of good food, i made cookies and tamales. My hubby gave me a kenneth cole reaction watch, i didnt expect it cause my present for this year was suppose to be some amigurumi books i order from yesasia.com (cant wait to get them). my brother surprise me too by giving me my very own ipod nano....wow, he really surprised me. im in love with it now, i need to make a cozy for it, just need to find a pattern...
i also got two prefumes, two purses, some makeup, a sweater and a pair of jeans. all from different family members. i got too much, but gave a lot too.  my son was so excited to open up his presents, he had so much fun with his new toys. 
-------------------------
I updated my computer yesterday, i downloaded internet explorer 7, and i regret doing this because now it doesnt let me acces most of the sites i normally visit. this really sucks, i tryed to find help and tryed different ways to let me access them, and it dosent work. 
it wouldnt even let me go into yesasia.com, now it does but not the rest of the sites. i hope it works later on.
--------------------------
I made a hat for my hubby yesterday, and im making this  soccer hat for my son today. i will post it when im done. 
i was dreaming with an amigurumi this morning, i need to draw it out to try and make it. 
it was a cute pig with a hat.

I made this Hello kitty slippers for my little sister in law, she is only 12 years old. i used jiffy purple yarn for th body of the slippers, and i found a pattern online for the hello kitty motif. I made up the pattern for the slippers cause i wanted them to have a strap higher then the ones i saw for free.
Sorry for the blurry pics, they dont really show the right color.
