i just ordered my red cross commemorative knit kit well, actually i ordered two, for the disaster relief fund and i'm going to donate more money directly to the Tsunami relief fund. this organization will actually get the donations directly to the people who need it and not to the military who have continued to do sweeps of villages and are withholding donations and sometimes selling them. wow, and we were just in thailand in september. crazy! this area of the world has the nicest people on earth. i'm truly shocked.

hana has decided to take over one of my knitting project bags. i use old zippy bags you get when you buy luxury sheets for my knitting project bags. pillowcase ones work well for all my knitting tools. last one i got says "nicole miller" on it, cool.

hana decided to chew the christmas tree this year. she really hates holidays!
