I’ve been absent from the blog as the result of low knitting and sewing energy this past year. I needed an intervention! Fortunately, my desire for crafting increased last month. Here’s a pic of some Christmas gifts–
I made one black Smart Hat for my dad and two pairs of Fetching gloves, for my sister and cousin respectively. The purple Smart Hat is for me to wear this week when we head up to Chicago.

Toward the end of 2011, I picked up another hobby: cross stitching. Here’s a shot of my first project, a little purple cat–
Expect some cross stitching content on this blog. I’m currently working on a little project for my mom that I’ll post once it is done. After that, I’ll be tackling this beauty, Cirque des Triangles, by Ink Circles.
Here’s a parting shot of Marvin, thinking, “I don’t care about the Christmas beer! Where’s the Christmas wet food?”
