winter at home hasn't been nearly as dreary as thanksgiving three weeks ago. for the most part, i've been staying busy.
decorated my room with twinkle lights and hung ornaments and gold ribbon above my bed. decorated my mini christmas tree. decorated the real, bigger christmas tree. put up two little stockings for stella and clementine.
did some gift shopping today.
i made a pillow for my mum for christmas. well, really i just decorated a pillow. but i think it's nice.
i used different patterned fabrics to make four trees and then i sewn on green and brown buttons near the bottom to look like grass. i plan on reading a lot this break. and drawing and writing.
i'm halfway through reading peter pan.
i'm working on covering an entire vest in buttons for phil for christmas. it's going to take me ages to finish...
i'm working on a poetry chapbook this winter. hopefully i'll have it finished by spring so i can try selling it.
it's called Boil like Bats.
gonna get my hands on a decent saw so i can start practicing it. soon
rachel, phil and i will begin our wonderful saw trio. hurray!
i'm trying to stay busy over this break because i am absolutely miserable when bored.
"relaxing" usually makes me feel lazy.
i like being productive.
i still have yet to build snow butts and animals outside.
i might run around in the snow with my dog tonight.
ahh. i need new years eve plans...
