megaskunkI've been meaning to post for like, over a month now, and just keep not getting around to it. I had wanted to do a post recapping the trip to Italy so I'd have it for memory purposes and just never got around to it. I have off until after New Year's, so maybe one day within the next week I'll do a belated post about it. Right now my main goal is to finish the last of the rare breed wools I need to for the year to reach my New Year's Resolution goal. I started it back in November but then between trip, being sick, and Christmas business I just didn't get back to it until today. I started the 2nd single today but didn't finish it. I'll have to finish that tomorrow, then ply it Monday and set the twist sometime before New Year's Eve. I started so strong at one point I thought I'd finish so early I might have time to get an extra one done. Oh well. While I like the Shave "Em to Save 'Em challenge, I'm kind of getting tired of it. I feel like it's all I can work on so that I do eventually finish it and not just give up, but at the expense of not spinning other wool I have. I haven't even made any new rolags for awhile, even though when I first got my blending board I was really excited about it.
I guess I've been in a bit of a crafting funk lately. I tried to start a scarf while on the trip using one of the rare breed yarns that I made that I really like, and scrapped it twice because it just wasn't looking how I wanted it to, and because I like the yarn I don't want to waste it. And I haven't started a new project since. I wanted to get a sweater kit from Lion Brand's website, but it's a little pricey, and of course the one I like is never included in their sales for some reason, and with money being tight from Italy trip and Christmas shopping I haven't gotten it yet. Maybe soon. Main craft stuff I've been doing lately is resin stuff. I made the favors for my parents' party and then I decided to make some Christmas ornaments to give people as gifts using sand and shells from local beaches. Making stuff with resin is like...cool, but also boring cuz there's a lot of down time while waiting for the different layers to cure.
I was really in to Christmas baking this year though. I just wanted to make all the cookies. There's still some cookies I wanted to make but ran out of time to do, but now we already have a bunch of cookies and Christmas is over. Maybe I'll try making them later in the year. I dunno why it feels like cookies have to be made at Christmas time only. We make chocolate chip cookies year round, but that's about it. Maybe I'll try to make different varieties throughout the year next year. Overall I was just really into Christmas this year. I guess cuz the rest of the year was so shitty, I wanted something nice and joyful.
It snowed twice this month, which is annoying and weird. The first snow was like, a week and a half before Christmas and now it snowed again last night. I read that the snow last night was the worst snow Long Island has had in like, 3 years or something. There is a lot of it. Luckily it happened mostly overnight, but it was a bummer because Molly and Kyle came over for dinner last night and then had to rush out because the snow started sticking like, immediately. It was nice to see them while they were here though.
Man, I sat down to read my book and ended up on laptop cuz I remembered I wanted to order photo canvas from Walgreens because the sale ends today and then I ended up here catching up on entries I missed reading and also deciding to finally post here. I'll try to post at least one more time before New Year's with this year's resolution results and new ones for 2026. And maybe Italy trip recap. We'll see.
