Happy New Year’s Eve!

From start to finish December has been a crazy month. At work there was decorating, and I served nine holiday teas and organized a Holiday evening event. The whole month has been a blur of baking, birthday parties, serving teas, teaching classes, making and wrapping gifts, sending cards, cooking, cleaning, decorating and having company over. In the midst of the holiday chaos I spent most of the month without a car, because my glass was vandalized while I was parked at a holiday parade. Getting that fixed was a tedious ordeal, and slightly unbelievable. Right after my car glass was replaced the new glass literally exploded in my garage. It was completely obliterated, and I was once again without a car!

I really attempted to make all of my gifts this year. I thought it would be a good way to make use of some of the crafting supplies that have taken over the house. I made three Japanese Temari balls, several needle felted dragons, three tatted dragons, and a crocheted hat. I also made twelve jars of orange juice jelly.
