Um.

Aside from the beautiful ornaments we received as gifts this year, all of the studio's decorations came from a thrift shop.

I found a shoebox full of them, brought them to the counter, paid the $5 that went right to charity, and decorated our studio tree with the likes of

Marc with a C.

Helen loves living here. She's a knitter.

So does Shirley. Surely Shirley enjoys the fruits of our labor.

Linda loves me. Can't you see it in her eyes?

And Todd looks like he could use a friend.

Pam, Marc, Helen, Shirley, Linda, and Todd seem to be exceptionally pleased to have been relocated to a prestigious yarn studio like ours.

And so does...a walnut with goggley eyes...?

This ornament is a testament to 1985. The year in which people had so much free time they had to use it up knitting hats for walnuts.
 (?!?!????)

Merry Christmas, leetle snow friends.

And...walnut with a knit cap.

(?!?!????)

I love the walnut in a cap! I bet that would be a great way to use up tiny scrap balls.

That walnut has me in tears!!!! Too funny. You found a wonderful find, indeed!

I'm thinking that in a former life, the walnut might have been attempting to masquerade around like a mouse.. either that or it needs to shave. The jury is still out on that one.

The Linda angel looks just like me......very weird, but also cool. Happy Holidays!

I am fairly certain that my mom's tree has at least one walnut mouse ornament!!
