Home is Where the Yarn Is

We just returned from our Thanksgiving vacation.  We had a wonderful time at the coast with friends, but it is also nice to be back home.  For one thing, this lovely item was waiting in the mail:

I meant the book, not the cat, but he insisted on jumping into the photo.
I ordered 2 copies of the book.  I'll send out the one without the cat hair!

We still need to settle in but I don't want to wait any longer to pick 2 contest winners.  Ahem, just a minute while I use a random number generator . . .

. . . the winner of Cookie A's new book is Jessica, and the winner of two skeins of Brooks Farm yarn is Tera!  Jessica and Tera, I will contact you soon, but if you happen to be reading this, it would be great if you could send me a quick email with your mailing address.   Thanks!

I appreciate everyone who stopped by and left a comment.   It's good to know I'm not the only one who tends to let the WIPs/UFOs accumulate!  And it was great fun to read each and every encouraging word.   Now I need to go unpack, but I'm sure there will be more contests to come in the near future!
