elusivek | It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Dad is going full throttle with his Christmas cookies baking, and the apartment is now smelling of pastry dough, sugar, and just... CHRISTMAS!

Or the Witch's Hut from Hansel and Gretel.

Together with the sudden drop in temperatures, I'm really enjoying my life right this moment. Soon it's gonna warm up and get all humid and then it's no fun again. But! Enjoy it while it lasts! I've already taken out my scarf! New friends may not know, but I spent like, 12+ years knitting this Slytherin scarf LOL. I started just before I graduated University (the height of the Harry Potter craze I think), then as you know, knitting is not really my thing, so the eagerness tapered off. Then every winter I'd take it out and knit a few rows. I finally finished it yesterday. Had to make some fringes because I don't have enough wool and since it took me so long to get to this point, I wasn't able to find the same wool I had used.

Nutmeg will be a travel cat. She likes to sit on shoulders. Whoever's shoulders. She just likes to sit there. I guess it's warm? I was cleaning up the table after dinner and up she plops herself up on my shoulders, and I have to move around like the Hunchback, lest she slips and falls.

We know now that when Frankie is calm, he can get on with Nutmeg. But there are times when he gets crazy, then that's a no-no. Hopefully Frankie learns to always keep the calm!

Mom will kill me for showing this photo to the world, LOL (because of the messy living room), but yeah, Frankie and Harley can co-exist in harmony... for 2 seconds maybe.
