I didn't ask for much for Christmas this year, but I guess I was a good grrl as Santa brought me the one thing that I had on my list......and I LOVE them!
Every time I have seen Cheryl this year, she has been sporting a pair of really neat cowboy boots. Normally I am not a fan of cowboy boots and their pointy toes, but these rounded toe, chunky fatbaby's are so much fun!
Ken had been bugging me for a Christmas list, but I just could not think of anything that I really wanted or needed until I saw Kathy's post. That was it! I had forgotten how much I loved Cheryl's boots, so on the list they went and Santa listened.
(of course a link to Zappos was provided...grin).
Thank you Santa!!
Now that the push for Christmas knitting is done, I sat back and worked a bit on my Twisted Vines Sweater.
The back is completed and the first set of cables on the left front are as well. I love picking up this sweater when I feel like some mindless knitting and as you all well know there are times when mindless is a good thing, right?
I have a few new things on the to do list that I am looking forward to starting now that the holidays are nearly past. I will share them with you soon. :)
I have got to have a pair now! WOnderful. Happy New year

Love those boots!!
I sent my DH a link with a Christmas idea too. It worked like a charm! My new telephoto lens was under the tree on Christmas morning. :)

I love the boots and wish they came in black!

Thanks! Like I needed another shoe/boot to covet! haha.
Back when I was an equestrian, Ariat boots were all the rage. I don't know if they still are for riders, but apparently they still are for fashionistas!
(Oh my god, I sound like my grandmother, "all the rage". I promise I'm not really 85 years old.)

Okay, now I'm ticked! How could you taunt me with such wonderful and perfect boots and they aren't available to Canadians?
I just checked with them via online chat and they will not ship Ariat to Canada - something to do with contracts.
Now, I'm all boot-depressed!

Very cool boots. I DO want a pair. I'm heading over to Zappos!

I got a few pairs of Fatbabies when we moved to Montana. Stompy+cute+comfortable= awesome. Merry Christmas to you!

Cute! The boots look great with your socks, too. :)

What a great pair of boots! I've been wanting boots for a while now but I haven't found the perfect pair yet...those are a definite possibility! Thanks for showing your super gift from Santa and sharing the link. :o}

Very very nice! Are they warm?
I was wondering what happened to the Vines.

What a snazzy pair of boots! I think I may just need a pair...em.:)

Those boots are fabulous! Glad to hear Santa was nice to you.

LOVE them! Santa brought me a new swift (a BEKA), yarn gift certificate, a pink popcorn maker and pearl and diamond earrings.... I think you and I must have been the best girls this year!
By the way... what the heck was in the girls' present that they flipped out for??
