ianukI've been meaning to get back to the journal just after Christmas but oh well. Here we are. I have to say this holiday was really relaxing and not too stressful. Everyone liked the gifts and even though we got doubles of a few things the new receivers really enjoyed things which was a big bonus. Just teaches me to not buy things off my own wish list. Eh.
So Benton did really good and only melted down after everything was over and it was nap time. He really, really liked his wagon and just grins like a maniac when he gets to ride in it. Mel really likes his new sign for above the shop door which says "PRIMITIVE - Step Back in Time" which I thought was uber appropriate for him and for the shop. Shaylan loved the hat, Bryan loved the cowl and OMG!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scribe_ari made me the most beautiful shawl! It was a sock and mini-fig day though and I got 9 pairs of socks smart wool and Leigh Made and lots of Lego Minifigs.
We had really good primerib roast for dinner and pies were had as well. Were sad to see Shaylan and Bryan go home but working the next day does suck. I have not been getting to running and have been having too much beer and sugar...oh well. We have been having a good time with the boy and I've been working on a pair of socks for mel. I got one done and the second is on its way but it won't be done tonight.
I spent a good chunk of today getting my studio ready to actually make stuff in it. The Yarn Harlot has this thing where she cleans her house so it is good in the new year. My house is pretty good right now so I thought the last room that has been the dumping ground would get hit and I really did a good job. I can even, with a bit of clearing of the worktable do glass. Which is a big thing for me. I andswordmage need to be working on beads. Plus its time...its been almost 3 years since I made any beads and that is sad.
We are home this evening and I think its going to be a fire, some knitting and some warmed mead with Mel. Quiet and home and that is okay. We've been pretty social the last few weeks and its nice to stay home and have quiet.
2012 was pretty odd. I didn't accomplish much of anything on my goals for the year...I started a few but didn't really get far. Most of my time has been work and Benton and I think I'm finally starting to get the stride back to make things, take care of myself and still be Mom to an almost two year old.
I hope that 2013 brings me so good things and lets me accomplish personal things...but really, that is up to me to do. I'm going to be a bit selfish the first few months though and get things done for me. Hit the gym hard and get going on the running. Got lots to accomplish for me.
