Work starts anew....
I will be back dating some info as time permits buts my holiday was okay. We had a lazy and busy time. It was very weird. The entire family was sleeping in till at least 8am...sometimes later the entire break. Ben is growing and eating all of the time which was good but we learned not too much sugar otherwise he's a grump monster in the AM. We went roller skating with ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
scribe_ari and the kids. Ben did great on his new from Santa skates and it was fun. Definitely need to do it some more soon. We hit the zoo and in general had a nice time.
Mel and I are almost finished watching all of Gravity Falls on Hulu.
On the making things front I made:
1) a cowl forpublic_shaylan
2) Caution Orange sock for Mel, I still need to finish the second one but its at the heel gusset.
3) Finished the minecraft creeper hat for Benton and Viktor
4) Got the hot head torch on and made beads withswordmage as a gift for Wolfgrim's wife Jess which we made into a Viking Festoon.
5) Worked on a baby gift for little Cora Jade which I hope to finish this week/weekend.
We also managed to get new to us furniture. So in the way of last January we reorganized where we reorganized the front room. This time we reorganized the family room and the bedroom. We had intended to buy bedroom stuff but managed to buy stuff for the family room. We moved out the big dresser and the futon and the purple couch. We replaced them with a 1930s armoire, a new Ashley couch and a new to us vintage 1960s custom sofa and chair.
So this has spurred a reorganization trend and I've been throwing things out in the KonMori style and folding things small and making things better. Yay!
