Nerdy Christmas in July!

Wow is it nice to be on holiday! While I have been staying up late, there hasn’t been too much sleeping in as I’m taking care of the watchman right now, but there have been some lovely naps, some reading, some sewing, and lots of knitting and cross stitching! Here’s a look at what I’ve been up to:

I decided it was time to spruce up my living room a bit, so I made a new lampshade and recovered most of my throw pillows with a chetengi I liked—I’m liking the change!

Here are some of the nerdy Christmas ornaments I finished last week—I have a few more on the go right now, and plans for yet a few more. It’s nice to be able to indulge in such ‘fiddle faddle!’ Next week I'll post the ones I finish this week as well as the final product.

In addition to working on some ‘stealth’ projects which I will be able to reveal in late December, I’ve also been doing some cooking and working on cleaning up my house. It’s amazing how many little jobs accumulate over the course of a term! This week I want to get a lot of sewing done; we shall see how many garments I have finished by the end of the week!
