I hope you had a merry, merry Christmas!!
Do you ever feel that the days between Christmas and New Year's Day are no man's land? I never quite know what to do with myself. After the craziness of getting ready for Christmas and the holiday rush in my etsy shops, everything just suddenly comes to a dead halt! People seem like they're in a sort of fog right now. Nothing is expected of anyone right now. Can't really get ready for any holiday, it's a little early for "spring cleaning", most Christmas decorations are still up, etc. I guess we're supposed to be standing in line with returns.
The last few days, I've been:
- Spending a lot of time on our new Christmas couch. It's so comfy and pretty.
- Watching favorite movies like Little Women and Gone With the Wind
- Satisfying cravings for yummy, chewy artisan bread with olive oil or goat cheese, avocados and diet coke. *shrug*
- Fighting lots of snow and ice around here - driving is scary!
- Knitting up a storm
- Lazing around the house with Dustin and Lucy.
I've made quite a bit of headway on this new knitted blanket pattern!
I love it because you add squares by picking up stitches from the previous square - no sewing squares together! It's supposed to help use up your stash and be fun and colorful so I've been enjoying choosing colors as I go.
The pattern is from Living Crafts, a wonderful magazine if you have kids and/or like using natural materials to craft with. They have some great ideas and patterns!
So that's what I've been doing, how have you been spending the days after Christmas?
