camwynHi, all. Visited family, took niblings skating, got a good reception on the quilt and the quilted pillows, etc. Happy New Year.
Standard doable New Year's resolutions this year: I will not attempt to put out the Sun, and I will not attempt to eat my house. If I put out the Sun it will be by accident and I am very sorry in advance.
I do intend to either sew, do something sewing-related, or work on jewelry at least once a day for the year, but it doesn't count as a resolution because I was already doing that last year. So far I haven't gotten to actually do any sewing but buying a sewing pattern (an earflap hat/trapper cap/'Canada hat') on Etsy, and ordering fabric for a pair of trousers to make for a friend, counts.
Also trying to spend a bit more time reading paper books. So far I've finished How to Read Nature by Travis Gooley and Kitchen Mysteries by Herve This (French name, there are accents, I can't replicate either and don't know how to pronounce it- he's basically the god of molecular gastronomy). Working on Call Me Chef, Dammit!, by Andre Rush.
More later as events warrant.
