Making and Marking

There’s snow on the ground, a biting wind whistling outside my window and the sun disappeared around 4:00, so it must really, truly be December.

So since November?

  • Open Studios was fun and it was wonderful connecting with so many delightful visitors! I didn’t get many photos, but I did snap one of my table above. Every once in awhile, I scan Craigslist for commercial rentals, with daydreams of a shop in mind. It’s most definitely not in the cards at the moment, but someday/someway I’d love to open a brick and mortar storefront.

  • I’m about 2/3 way through The Saboteur: The Aristocrat Who Became France’s Most Daring Anti-Nazi Commando, by Paul Kix. Parachuting! Car chases! Disguises! Explosives! A page-turner for sure, made all the more mind-boggling when you realize Robert de La Rochefoucauld was inflicting mayhem on the Nazis at the ripe old age of 20.

  • I knit this shawl earlier in the fall and it’s a terrific pattern. I’m itching to knit a second (especially with January on the horizon).
