I think I make resolutions only to break them.

Hebrew class starts next Tuesday, so I'm beginning to see an end to the long six weeks of unscheduled time. I've spent most of this week running housewifey errands (shop for groceries. visit drugstore. do laundry. make dinner. etc.), so I decided today I would buckle down and work to make the most of my remaining free time.

I'm supposed to be working on a little web project with Patri. But after getting frustrated and a little confused trying to figure out html this morning, I decided that instead of working on my portfolio (as I should be doing) I would make Christmas ornaments. Because dammit, we're gonna have Christmas decorations this year and that's that!!! I had to hit up the mall yesterday as part of my errands (having only one set of bedsheets just wasn't cutting it) so I spent part of my allowance and bought some felt to make ornaments (just like Ma made in the '70s!).

This was my worktable. The computer was just there to make me feel better about not working.



And here's ornament number one in progress. Anyone who guesses it's mistletoe gets a free kiss the next time I see them!

whoops - accidentally sent you an email instead of "commenting". So, here goes:
I think you've been ridiculously productive! Wish I had half your creativity. Keep those posts coming! They're great!

we decorated the tree this past week-end (after hiking out in the woods to find the perfect one to bring in) and your aunt janet and I had a great deal of fun finding ornaments made or bought from past years as we unpacked various containers in the xmas box. Bits of all our years together are on the tree each year and remind us of a life full of love and kindness.

I wish I could be the one under your mistletoe this year, but in 20 years when your felt ornaments go onto the "second tree" you will always be able to remember that December of 2006. Love from the home folks!

Brava! That's Viscum album, all right! Well, done. I hope we will get a chance to see the other ornaments when you finish them. :-)
