I think the first week of NaNoWriMo went well for me. I got my words down, and fell back into the groove of the story. I only had one time where I didn't make quota, and made up for what I lacked in the next session. I'm not feeling any burn from working on work and fun stuff each day. Quite the contrary. What I'd hoped -- that this would help recharge me creatively -- is one of the side effects I'm enjoying. It's also just nice to be me again on the page.
In other, unrelated news, this arrived:
I bought this vintage sewing basket from eBay, which I plan to clean up and turn into a holiday gift for my daughter. She likes retro, and this is definitely that. It's in good shape, and stuffed with notions.
A lot of notions!
She won't need all this stuff, so I get a couple presents too.

Fabulous treasure! I inherited my aunt's sewing basket some years ago now. She had several spools of pure silk thread that were the most beautiful colors. I've only used a couple and not much of those, but what a joy to sew with thread like that. Your daughter will love this, I'm sure. And the basket as well!
