Day 13 → talk about hobbies this year
I'm afraid I have probably talked about these far too much all year - belly dancing, stained glass making, and a little bit of dolls house building. So it's been a busy year for hobbies which pleases me.
Belly dancing - of course we had the London show which went well and we have our Christmas party on Thursday evening where there will be guest dancers and we will perform two dances to the 100+ audience which will be fun. It's quite informal which is nice. The belly dancing community is very welcoming and very enthusiastic in their applause and whistles and clapping during a performance. It is very encouraging!
Stained glass - I've had my last class today as we break up now until after Christmas. It's a very enjoyable hobby and my classmates are all lovely. We had our Christmas meal out yesterday which was nice. I do enjoy creating things too, so it's been fun and I have sold a few items this year which is also good. In the New Year I shall try and get more organise and set up an Etsy shop to make a few things to sell as it's a good hobby and fun to do and I might as well try and cover a few costs!

Little black kitty for a friend to give as a present.
Doll house building has taken a back seat at the moment, although this year I bought the basement kit and assembled that. I've also been looking at the ideas for using the air dry 'clay' to make items such as flowers etc. When my studio has permanent power and heat (which has been put on hold while we tile the kitchen) I shall move it into there and try to finish it.
I haven't been sleeping very well the last few nights - I have no idea why. I'm hoping that I get some uninterrupted sleep tonight.
