Or so I thought. My just-barely-teenaged daughter has gone and got herself a social life. Stuck to my fridge are four party invitations. There&#8217;s also the senior&#8217;s night out for dancing coming up, and a multitude of other social events, including my niece&#8217;s dance concert this weekend. All before Christmas, bar one of the parties.<br \/>\nShe has a better social life than I do!<br \/>\nSome pics from the concert.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1240.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1240.html','popup','width=637,height=850,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1240-thumb.jpg\" width=\"380\" height=\"507\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1261.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1261.html','popup','width=638,height=850,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1261-thumb.jpg\" width=\"380\" height=\"506\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nI actually took heaps more photos, but they all have other kids in them, and I don&#8217;t have permission to put them up here.

I&#8217;m having some anxiety issues with putting it up. Earlier in the year, we replaced our end tables with these stash boxes. The tree goes on the table. There&#8217;s nowhere else to put the tree in our little house. So, it has to go onto my stash box.<br \/>\nWhat if I want something from in there? All my sock yarn is in there. I had a fleeting moment where I considered emptying the box, just in case, but I realised I have nowhere to put the yarn. Maybe I can use it to decorate the tree. Then it&#8217;ll be right at hand!<br \/>\nMind you, it&#8217;ll only be up for three weeks or so, and I&#8217;m sure that the other yarn around the house will keep me busy until then. But what if??<br \/>\nSo I got some more yarn, just in case.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_1331.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1331.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nBecause you never know. 3 skeins of Jo Sharp Alpaca Silk Georgette, intended for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fibertrends.com\/viewer\/V5_accessories.html\">Faina&#8217;s Scarf<\/a>, and a skein of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theknittery.com\/c\/25291\/1\/merino-cashmere-sock-new.html\">Merino Cashmere Sock<\/a>, in &#8220;Water Lilies&#8221;, both from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theknittery.com\/\">The Knittery<\/a>.
