Journal Your Christmas


I started this online class last year, but only got as far as a cover for my journal. This year I'm doing it again and hope I can get more done. My schedule for December includes finishing my electronic capstone portfolio, graduation, my birthday, my son's birthday, my wedding anniversary, and, of course, Christmas.

I am already looking forward to decorating, baking, putting the Christmas quilt on the bed, and planning lots of wonderful little surprises. Having a journal I can have fun assembling and then enjoy year after year is the something else I want to do, just for me.

Girly-Girl Socks


I've begun knitting another pair of socks. This one is in girly-girl pink. I'm using size 1 dpns and Koigu yarn. I love this pattern stitch. It's a nine stitch, four round pattern.
