The short-notice trip was, partially, due to this guy:
Introducing my great-Nephew Jack. He was born in the wee hours of December 1st (for those interested in the details he was 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 21" long). Mom, Dad and baby are all doing well. And YES, those cheeks!!
Or as well as you can be with a newborn in the house. :-)
I do hope to get back into stitching now that all of the holiday preparations are done - I HAVE to finish the birth announcement piece and start looking for Christmas stocking patterns so there is some incentive.
I am trying to put together a stitching/crafting schedule for next year so that I can get back into sending hand-made birthday and anniversary as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas cards. I am thinking of using one Sunday a month for paper crafting, card making and crochet. That leaves plenty of time for stitching. Unfortunately, that is the extent of my planning for next year. My boss is retiring the end of this month and I will be acting until they find a replacement (or 120 days, whichever comes first) so I am going to need some relaxation at home as I will still be doing my regular job too. I am trying to look at it positively, but all I'm really seeing is lots of extra stress.
