looking forward to...

since the weather has been headed towards the chilly side of things, i have been enthused (just ask my coworkers) about the holiday season. i am usually not this excited, but my goal is to make everyone's gifts this year. so far i am mostly in brainstorm mode, and i am cheating a little by most likely using a couple letterpressed calendars (by me- in my etsy store soon!!) as a gift. but it's still made by me! so i have been busy knitting a special someone's present already, which i'm very excited about!
anyways, other than that goal, i have been enjoying cooking up a storm- many soups have been had here at our house, along with baking. i think it's essential to bake and eat good food. plus it nicely warms our house. things i have been loving lately: warm beverages, sweaters, scarves, and a handmade hat, random public art, our cat being more cuddly, blankets, a clean and warm house, and a little time to read. everything has been lovely, and i'm really enjoying seeing the details and everyday things as art and inspiration. i just wish i had that digital camera i've been lusting after... since ours is ancient (by technologies' standard). maybe santa will put it under the tree for me....

stay tuned: we are planning on having a tacky christmas party, which i think will be a blast- so i will definately post pictures of that!
