tea_and_toastIt is the end of the year, or the beginning. I married my knight (he even has shining armor) this year. I moved for the first time since I was born, really. I made a lot of oatmeal bread, and planted a garden together with my new husband, and saw the northern coast of California. (Once you get over the tsunami warning signs and head down the steep stairways, the beaches are lovely.)
We adopted two kittens and I started working from home. It has been the most wonderful shift for me. I used to spend two hours a day (or more) sitting in traffic, with hours of windowless computer work in between, at a desk sized for a six-foot tall man. Now when I work, it's with a cat on my lap, a cup of tea on my desk, and a quilt in my chair. Oh, and a garden right out the sliding glass door just behind me, ready to be looked at whenever. I feel lucky, and not just because of the garden.
After dithering, and painstakingly handsewing it wrong, I finished up a quilted draft cat I made for our front door. It's a little like one my parents had when I was growing up, though I think that one's ears were smaller. Go big or go home. It's just in time to make us all snug for the new year.
I've made progress on my wool shawl, slowly. It's better now that I have a circular needle with a lot of circle in between the pointy bits.
And I finished a headband a while ago, which I've been wearing when it's cold. It's so nice to finish things. I really must remember to start smaller projects in the future. Perhaps that can be my New Years resolution.
