This past weekend was the Clayathon, so you’ll see a lot of my images are dominated by what I made during those three days. We also had an ice storm, which gave me something else to take pictures of.

TWiP: Weekends are not for Sitting at the Computer
I do not want to turn on my computer on the weekends! Weekends are for visiting! And going for long drives! And breathing fresh air! And sitting on the bed watching mysteries and knitting!

I can’t properly express how much it pleases me to be ending the year on a Friday.

It was a full week. I’m thinking about how to refer to multiple Flax sweaters in a grammatically acceptable way, because I finished one Flax and started another this week. I also made more family portrait ornaments, and moved permanently out of the office space that I used to occupy before the pandemic.

Ah, Thanksgiving week. I have always loved Thanksgiving, both for the opportunity to gather with family, and as a harbinger of the Christmas season. But during years such as this one, where I have been gainfully employed, I have also come to appreciate Thanksgiving for the four-day weekend it provides 🙂
