I have everything Christmassy in the mail and some of the packages have already reached their destination. Most years I get the main parcels sent and then work on the smaller items. But I put the last of the packages in the mail a couple of days ago so now what?

I’ve worked ahead on my January cards, I’ve cleaned up my sewing space a couple of times, and I’ve dug out some old yarn and am making something for myself just to use it up. I finished decorating inside and just have my snowman to put up outside. I should have done that over the past two days when the sun was shining; now I’ll have to wait for the wind and rain to go away.

I’ve spent some time reading in the afternoons. I have two more books to finish in order to complete my Goodreads challenge. The last book was (and the one I’m reading now is) over 700 pages so when I get to book #50 it will have to be a small one.

I have some baking supplies and I’ve picked out a few recipes. Next up will be something to use up the ricotta cheese we have in the fridge. I will make some mincemeat tarts and I’ve had Nuts and Bolts in my head for the past couple of days. I don’t have everything I need to make them but we don’t have our turkey yet either so there is still time. The last time I made that recipe our oven was on the brink of dying and they didn’t bake very well; we’ve got a new oven now so they should turn out better.

I’ve spend way too much time on the internet. I’ve signed up for a few new newsletters and blogs and today I downloaded six new patterns and sew-alongs. Who knows if I will do any of the projects but it is fun to look.
