Usually every year I attempt to make some home-made gifts for my family, and this year is no exception, except that I've gotten very behind at what I'm working on. It's mostly a question of supply availability, which means that I've got several things going on at the same time. I'm knitting, quilting, and there is some sewing and embroidery lurking about for my attention, as well as some knitted decorations that need stuffing.
We are still working on the Maple Sugaring diorama, but with the busyness at this time of year, things tend to sit around until there is a block of time to actually finish them.
Stick with me, I promise there is more to come.
Winter is here, we had snow and then loads of rain. As depressing as that was - there was some localised flooding of low road areas - I keep reminding myself what it would have meant if that rain had come down as snow! There have also been more than the usual number of get-togethers with friends and family this year, which is lovely, but has added to the time things on the go tend to sit unfinished. We have company staying with us for nearly a week over Christmas, which means the house needs some real attention. In my kitchen cupboard is a mug that has a slogan on it "What housework? I'm busy crafting."
Yes, I am.
