Busy Bees and a reluctant model

I have been one busy little bee all week.  I could hardly believe when I looked and saw I hadn't posted since Tuesday.

I sat down earlier in the week and made our to-do list.  Then I grouped everything together by store so I don't have to go back and forth.  Genius!!  Once it was all written down, with a plan, it actually looks do-able.   I don't want to jinx it, but I'm slightly optimistic that I might meet my deadline of "done before the 20th".  

I still haven't received my new cutterhead yet!  Arrrgh....  I admit I haven't hooked all week - until tonight.  I want to try and hook a small Christmas gift, so I put the Angel rug on the back burner for now to see if I can get this gift hooked.  (It would go alot quicker if I had my #8 cutterhead but........)
However, this is what I started this evening.  It might be a little pillow?

And, just to break up the evening with a little fun (well, fun for me - not so much for Millie) ......

 She was NOT in the mood for modeling tonight.  The little strap on the hat broke and she didn't want to keep it on her head.  She was trying to escape and I was laughing so the pics are not great.  
Just look at that face!!   I am such a mean Mommy!

  8. The trouble with Geminis and their lists, they either forget the list or keep adding to it as they go along.

    Maddy runs when she sees me with the camera case. I wonder why??

  9. Poor Millie, you will have to get her an extra gift for Christmas after enduring her modeling.
    The little JOY mat is going to be really cute.
    Hope your cutter comes soon.

    If you looked up the word adorable in the dictionary you would find a picture of Millie!!!
    I am a list maker, too. Trouble is, I don't always get done what is on "the list", but if I didn't make a daily to-do list, I'd probably forget to get out of bed!
    Pug hugs :)
