First, the eye candy: this morning's sunrise:
I've spent the last couple of days wrapping cookies and biscotti for mailing. I mailed 10 boxes of goodies today to various family members and friends. As for the rest of the goodie bags, there are only 3 left to deliver. I've assembled 32 goodie bags and boxes this year...I think that's 3 more than last year.
When I wasn't packing cookies, I was playing with one of my Christmas presents: an Ashford Inkle loom.
I have warped it a couple of times. The first time I didn't get it taut enough so I undid it and warped it again. I figured I needed the practice, so I didn't mind. I'm weaving a simple strap using black, blue, and copper colored crochet cotton.
For now, I am just trying to get into the rhythm of weaving with this loom. Once I feel comfortable with it, I want to weave a strap to use as a yoga mat carrier.
Up this weekend: Finish the Jungle Songs quilt. I have finished burying all the threads in the back. I've pinned on the binding and will sew that tomorrow. I am determined to finish this quilt in 2012! I also want to work on one of my spinning WIPs.
My vacation is going far too quickly! I'd hoped to do much more craft-wise, but the goodie packing took far longer that I expected. I better make the best of the last few vacation days that I have!
