can it really be december?
the days are flying by - can it really be december? i worked at the gallery yesterday, and the opening was the previous wednesday. took two out of three kids down, and they had fun roaming the streets of Westerly because it was the “holiday stroll.” luminaria, santa in a wagon ride, shops open late (including Hammen Home, one of our very favorites!). meanwhile i was writing up sales in the gallery like the madwoman that i am. whew!
yesterday, on the other hand, was kind of quiet. i took my work laptop and ended up putting in a couple of solid hours… i enjoyed it actually!
what’s on the docket for today? well, we need to get the kids “christmas card picture” taken - i have an idea for that, but i wonder if it will work. then, swap the screen on the front door for GLASS - cuz it’s cold outside! oh, and we have to take out the air conditioners too…. hmmmm. no more 80 degree days in the near future here! we actually still have a dusting of snow on the ground.
i’m sitting here watching the sun come up, watching the sky turn creamy yellow… i WANT to go make beads, but it’s so COLD in the garage. i have gotten to the point where i really really don’t like the cold. so instead, i’ll make blueberry muffins, and go cut out a couple more t-shirts to sew.
got the coolest pattern from fabric.com - a jalie crossover tshirt pattern. I made a couple already - a plain black one, and a really cool red panne velvet one. i’ve got fabric for 4 more! getting in a tshirt groove here…
later, J is going to a screenprinting class at the Dreyfus (the AS220 printshop) - I still have to stop by Utrecht and get supplies for that! there’s no such thing as a “relaxing weekend” when Christmas is just 16 days away.
