#56 π ‘Twas the weekend before Christmas…
Hello & Welcome to myΒ 56th episode of the KWH iPad Show! Today’s feature is my knitterly version of Clement Clarke Moore’s “Twas the night before Christmas” poemβinspired byΒ my sack of incomplete Christmas decorations, as I race to finish in time for the 25th! π
‘Twas the weekend before Christmas,
when all through the house…
Not a project was finished,
not even a gift knit for my spouse!
The incomplete stitches were
layed by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas’
elf-help team soon would be there…
My needles were nestled
all snug in their yarn webs,
While visions of sweet FO’s
danced in my head.
And hubby in his sports jersey,
and I with my knitting lap,
Had just settled in for a long evening
of Hockey Night in Canada on tap.
Then away with my pics to the
web’s window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the iPad and threw
open the photo editing app,
And sprang to my blog,
to WordPress gave a whistle,
And away the pics flew
like the down of a thistle.
And I whistled, and shouted,
and called them by name…
Now Dasher! now Dancer!
now Prancer and Vixen!
On Comet! On Cupid!
on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the blog!
there’s no time to crawl!
Now dash away!
Dash away! Dash away all!

I decided to not wait until the new year –
Had to come see you
And smiling with your poem –
Not a project was finished….
Hah!
All was good.
Things are kicking in high gear over here. Visitors coming in a few days too –
Oh and the decoration photos were so festive and I love the “hope” nestled in there. It was sweet to read….

Happy to see you again so soon, dear Yvette β€ Glad you enjoyed this post! Looking at the photos after posting, I'd been a bit concerned whether my "H" might look like an "N" … 'cause that'd spell "NOPE" and we gotta have HOPE! … LoL π So thanks for clarifying that for me π
Wishing you, your family and guests a very merry Christmas and fabulously happy 2017! π π Jackie@KWH

awe thanks, Annika β€ Always lovely to see and hear from you!
Well…… after 3 consecutive years of posting our decorated staircase in time for Christmas, my blog is the latest of all!!! Totally missed the entire season, due to my late start on Christmas projects and unexpected technical difficulties/adjustments
It left me feeling pretty bummed, but will soon post pics collected along the way! Currently stitching the final piece in hopes of posting pics soon … LoL…yeah… I know it's a month after Christmas, but gotta β€ looking at the decor, 'though the Hubs is eager to pack this party up π Have a great week ahead! π π Jackie@KWH
