It has taken me all day but I finally have everything I need to start wrapping gifts for the mail. All the shopping is done – online, in Saskatoon, and locally. All the stitching is done – at home, in airports, and on Texada. I feel like I’m really late getting this done and, as I do every year, I vow to start earlier next year.

It was a real treat to be at home all day – it doesn’t happen very often. We’ve spent some time looking at the calendar and trying to decide when we can get over to the studio again. Surprisingly enough it is Pat who has more on the schedule next week than I do.

The last time I left the studio I mentioned to Pat that I would like my sewing/crafting space in Powell River to be as tidy as the room I have on Texada. That will take a lot of work but I’m determined to try to make it happen – starting with putting away all the scraps and miscellany from my Christmas sewing. My new desk is the only space that I’m able to keep clear on a consistent basis!
