Over the weekend before Christmas, I finally blocked the shawl for Joe's mom. It turned out rather groovy.

We tacked on a little road trip to Gainesville in order to visit the best yarn store ever. Many thanks go to Sharon, who helped us surprise the heck out of Lorena when we walked in the door to the shop.

Lorena posted an excellent recap here, and we have more shop pictures and family photos here.
And what did I get from Hanks, you ask...?

Because we had surprised Lorena (who had just been to the post office mere hours before), the day after we returned, we were treated to this lovely package in the mail!!!

Here's what we did on Saturday - Joe had finished up the floors, so now it's time to get the bathroom finished! We hauled this beast up the stairs (wood is heavy) and started putting stuff in it.

What a week of perfection. Now just two more business days of being off before we head back to the holiday-and-vacation desert that is The Beginning Of The Year. May you all have a lovely New Year's Eve - stay away from crazy people, and be careful on the roads!

Y'all look *so* good in our shop! Smooches!
What Sharon said!
Y'all should become a regular shop feature! ;p
All of the 'random' quotes from a few days ago FINALLY make sense! Glad you had a great time in Florida - I did, too (and you can read about each day over on my blog).
Nice haul!!
And the shawl looks fantastic.
