Hello. Welcome to the first post of the blog I have been intending to create for a few years now. Perhaps that will give you a clue to one of my worst habits- starting things that I never seem to finish within a reasonable amount of time.
Today is one of the windiest rainy days Seattle has seen all year, which also happens to be our Veterans Day holiday from school. What better reason could I have to sit around in my sweats and have an excuse for not doing anything that involves leaving my apartment, except to take this picture of the screen that was blown from my living room window last night.
I have decided to take the Buy Handmade Holiday Pledge seriously this year and have started early. I'm hoping to make 75% of my holiday gifts this year and have actually started before December 15th (which previously meant that I only made about 2 or 3 things). I cannot divulge details of what I am working on since some readers are recipients. Though I can share that there will be quilts, sewn items, knit accessories, and sugary treats!
Check out this video done by Sigur Ros and the Royal Danish Ballet of one of my favorite H.C. Andersen stories, Little Match Girl, which seems appropriate for this time of year and this kind of weather.
