new year musings

one week in and so far the new year has been treating us right. here are a few random things that have been keeping us busy ::

:: wool spinning ::

:: stew cooking ::
(in the oh, so lovely chicken crock!)

:: sun soaking ::

:: undie sewing ::
these were too big so smaller (and much cuter!) unders have been cut out. i cut some for the little boy too in preparation for new adventures.

i have also been putting some thought into our 2010 handmade holiday. as of right now my grand plan is to make one gift per month throughout the year. i have some quick projects planned and a few tutorials to share with you in the next several months. my goal is to make the next holiday our biggest handmade celebration yet! does anyone want to join me? i would love to pop in and check out your handmade holiday progress this year!

happy new year, friends! i can't wait to share 2010 with you all!
