Almost December

It's almost December!  and I am behind on gift ideas.  One friend mentioned fingerless mittens, which would be great to make for her, but I am struggling to complete a sweater for Sprout, as well as a quilt for him (the quilt, before January sometime).  I have all these craft-related urges, but not a lot of time and energy. 

But!  I'm still looking forward to it.  Our dog is much more perky now that the weather is cold, and enjoys padding around the yard more.  Fluffy dogs have a rough time in the heat, especially our Aggressive Shedder.  It's like she can throw her fur.

Slowing down, revving up

I've been slowing down a bit recently.  I did get strips of blocks sewn up for Sprout's quilt, but I still have to sew the strips together to have the quilt top ready.  I'm contemplating trying out a wool batting for this one, but I may just stick with the cotton/bamboo stuff I picked up on sale. 

I've been having so many to-do lists, and feeling pulled in so many directions, that this today made me laugh.  Maybe at some point.

Anyone out there doing NaNoWriMo this year?  I've had to pass, but would love to hear how it is going for you.

November 20

Perhaps you should suspend your inhibitions for the day, Taurus, and let your dreams guide you. For instance, you might imagine that the need to make any choices has vanished. Or you might grant yourself a vacation from daily chores. It would certainly be a relief. Who knows? You might conjure up some reality from the stuff of your dreams.
