Long time no posting...again. That will be a New Year's Resolution, I'm sure...
Anyhow. I'm working furiously to get all of my Christmas gifts done and sent out before the holidays. I decided again this year to attempt to make most if not all of my gifts. I think it makes things more personal and special, but it certainly takes up a lot of time! I finished one scarf for a co-worker, but I have four more work-related projects to go, plus gifts for family and friends. I wish I could take off for like two weeks before the holidays just to get everything done! I mean, I don't have time to do anything else, like Simming, playing Assassin's Creed 2 or writing. And not to mention my personal knitting projects which have been put indefinately on hold, like my sweater, hood, and first (real) pair of gloves.
As this is a recession holiday, my decorating has become a lot more creative. Due to a work-realted event, I re-introduced myself to origami. I thought, "hey this could be pretty cool for the holidays!" So this year I'll be boasting origami christmas decorations made with gift wrap paper. So far, my ideas include a garland of cranes and a bowl filled with miniature gift boxes. (Pictures to come soon!) My roommie suggested putting origami on the tree, which could also be quite nice. Since I have a nice collection of christmas gift wrap, this is a no-expense way of decorating!
Here's to the beginning of my favorite time of year!
