I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. The long weekend was very nice, and though I've had to be back at work this week, it is very quiet in the office.

As you can tell, I've been very busy, doing things like teaching my nephew to bake.



I think he has a little ways to go with hand-eye coordination before he can completely take over...

Well, I know I said I was going to be gone, but I couldn't resist sharing one of the reasons I've been away... I got to go take some family pictures for some friends for their holiday card! Michelle reads my blog and loved my travel pictures from Europe, and asked if I would take some of their family. I was flattered, but totally nervous. I do landscapes, not people! I ended up having a ton of fun, and got some pretty good shots! I hope they're happy - hey, at least I am free!









I hope everyone's having a wonderful holiday season! Only 6 sewing days until Christmas!

Hi there! Well, it looks like I participated in the opposite of NaBloPoMo, we'll call it NaNOBloPoMo. Sorry about that! I don't really have an excuse... We stay pretty busy in the base case, then we added a lot of extra running, playing volleyball after work two nights a week, and visiting our new nephew. Something had to go, and as much as I love posting here, my blog drew the short stick.

Oh, and for full disclosure, this had a small impact on my free time --



It is addicting. Just... one... more... star!

Then we went away for Thanksgiving and now it's December! Yikes!

So, I'll probably be away for the rest of the year, too, since I've got very ambitious handmade gift goals that I haven't even started, but I will be back with lots of finished things and energy and pictures in the New Year!

So Merry Christmas, everyone, and see you in 2008!
