Preparing for Hibernation

We've been busying ourselves since Winter began with preparations for our yearly trip to the big city for Bazaar Bizarre. Whew! Let's all breathe a collective sigh of relief now that that's over. Don't get me wrong, it was great fun for all of us: me, Amy and the baby girl rolling and kicking inside her belly.

We showed up, like last year, with a bunch of crooked manzanita branches to make our display (we're not the kind to make it easy on ourselves), which wound up looking very home-y. Amy's eight-month pregnant nesting knows no bounds.

And we came home, like last year, with some well-deserved and lovely handmade gifts for ourselves and our kids.

Now it's smooth sailing until Christmas, and knitting for gifts seems downright leisurely. All that's left for this year is to spend some quality family time and throw an awesome New Year's party (more on that later).

Oh dear, did I say that was all?

Let's not forget about the Winter Sale in our Etsy shop!! In the spirit of giving, we're giving you all deep discounts on lots of new, one-of-a-kind items.
