Time Flies.

Well, how did ten days go by so quickly?  I have played bunko with the ladies of the ‘hood (and brought home some loot), made it to Boulder and back for the last of the spinning classes (where I spun from a ‘silk cap’…oh my!), and attended the weavers/spinners guild meeting (where I signed up for some workshops in the new year!).

I have worked on finishing up holiday shopping, decorated the house (which required buying lights at the last minute which is crazy but now we are all LED lit and green and it’s all good), and the tree and decorations do not seem to hold mysterious appeal to the newest addition to the family.

White enamel seems to be most attractive to Apollo.  He has settled in very well and it has been a great experience to add him to our household.  The only issue has been his need to sit on my lap in the evenings when I am use to knitting.  Often it is…inconvenient, but we are managing workarounds.  By which I mean I work around the cat…

The holiday cactus has been in full splendor, waffling between being a Thanksgiving or a Christmas cactus.  I don’t care.  When it is dark at 5:09 PM (!), I need some hot pink at my dinner table to keep me believing it’s not time for bed.

And the gift knitting proceeds apace.  The vote is still out as to whether all goals will be met, but I believe that most will be, and certainly 95% of all originally planned articles.  Time will tell…it’s hard not to spin…I have so many new skills that I want to practice, you know.
