Things are humming along in the creative realm. Lots of book designing and sewing going on behind the scenes, but also a good share of "because-if-I-didn't-make-it-I'd-go-bonkers" projects. I love these projects - the ones that maintain my sanity amidst looming deadlines. They're projects that I can pick up and take with me, and they're perfectly suited for busying my hands while sitting on the floor and making sure that Finn doesn't grab the big, lazy cat and quickly stuff him in his mouth.

We're hunkering down here for a real winter storm this weekend. Thank goodness, because I felt really sorry for the kids I saw riding their sleds down a steep, grassy incline at the park the other day. Seriously. We need some white stuff.
