3759 Hours Until Christmas!

My sister sent me this link for Holiday Grand Plan yesterday.  At first I thought it was insane.  It put too much pressure on building up for the holidays.  Then I read it.  It's more of a how to always keep your house clean and organized while incidentally preparing and planning for the holidays.  It's a pretty good plan. It asks you to focus on one area of your house each week for a thorough cleaning.  It also gives tips on when to make lists, when to shop, etc.  It has many lists to help you prepare for each week. If you know me, you know how I love my lists! It even has a GIFTS TO KNIT list (well, almost) (Click here).

If I Only Had Time

I would knit this lovely new creation I saw in the Summer 2006 edition of Interweave Knits from the Morehouse Farm - called the Gorgonian Shawl

It's one of the Morehouse Farm's new spring creations and I have several fancy events to go to over the next few months.  I think this shawl would be lovely and elegant for both events.  But, since I'm knitting at a snail's pace of late, I guess I won't be able to knit it any time soon.  Still, I'm torn.  What color do you think I should make - off white or black?
