etc.

It’s been warm here for most of the week but this morning there were two brave inches of snow on our front walk, and the sky is still bearing down quiet, fast flurries. This being the last day of 2005, I am busying myself with new-year-preparedness tasks, such as, filing away bills, readying wall calendars, transferring important dates, numbers and other miscellanea from the daytimer I’m using to-day to the one I will use to-morrow. These are reasonable, responsible tasks, they make me feel like I am clearing away the detritus to make room for a new year.

I was going to tell you all about the holiday gift crafting I did this month, but it all seems so long ago now, so I will, instead, direct you to the pictures. Suffice it to say that I introduced myself to the walking foot that came with my new(ish) sewing machine and we became fast friends.

And a happy aught-six to you, gentle readers!
