Wrapping Up The Holidays:
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (or whichever Wintery holiday you may or may not have celebrated this past week)! We certainly did. My wonderful mother bought me a 12″ Ashford Knitter’s Loom, I got some clothes (that fit!) and a prime lens for my camera (Canon EF 50mm 1.8) that I’m going to enjoy fiddling around with. We were a little spoiled, but very appreciative. (Fingers crossed that my first foray into weaving is more successful than my foray into spinning. That hobby was woefully neglected from the beginning!)
Christmas was hectic (as I expected), but we definitely had a good time. I’m definitely not one to argue with two turkey dinners! And grandma made homemade turkey soup on Boxing Day which was also fantastic and delicious — it’s nice having family that cooks so well! I do have to say that the food is one of my favorite parts of the holidays. Oh — and the cake balls I made? BIG hit. Everyone loved them! I’m glad, because between baby wrangling and everything else the week before Christmas it took me way too long to finish the batch!
Tangent: we’ve had some beautiful skies the past couple of weeks. It’s been cold, but excessively pretty.
Lastly, my progress on Boreal Baby is coming along nicely. I sent of my licensing contract for Sheepy Pants, and am working out a few details on my licensing for Wonderpants. I’ve also contacted Sugarbubbie regarding the licensing for the Riding Hood Sweater and the Sleuthing Hoodie, so once everything else is organized I think I’m going to pick up those two as well. Manda of Violet Minded sent me my logo prototypes the other day, and they’re perfect. ♥ I’ve decided to host the store cart on Hyenacart (big surprise!), and went ahead and registered BorealBabyKnits.com and forwarded it to the cart for the time being. Now, nothing’s ready to stock yet, but the setup and preparation is keeping me busy!
Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year’s Eve!
