Last Month

I earned a two-week vacation in November by finishing ahead of schedule the last big project in 2024 for the day job.

I made a gift bag for my guy's birthday present this month (a present I thrifted) out of coffee-themed fabric (which I also thrifted.)

I made an embroidered and beaded crazy patchwork fish mini-quilt to test out an idea for next year's calendar project.

I took some thrifted fabric strips, leftover binding and beads, and the yoyos I've been making out of scraps and made this coffee table topper.

I crocheted another winter hat for myself out of thrifted white yarn to match a thrifted white sweater.

Finally I kept up with my crochet calendar mood blanket, with only three negative mood days in November. Two were sad (parting again from my kid, and hearing some bad health news about a friend. The third was upset over a day of terrible stupidity. I know my negative mood was shared by millions of other intelligent and thoughtful people.) Despite the sadness and idiocy the color I used most often was happy -- thanks to a visit by said kid -- at 11 times, with content coming in second at 3 times.

Stay tuned to the blog to see what I get done in December, and expect a year-end wrap up, too.
