I just looked back over my list of resolutions from last year and I don't even want to tell you how many I didn't keep. I suppose I'll have to just keep trying. I also need to add a new resolution about facebook, the little addiction that seems to be keeping me from doing real work. I'm not quitting cold turkey -- just giving myself a little carrot-stick thing, where I have to earn my time by writing. Haven't quite figured out my quota yet, but I did keep it on Jan. 1. (On New Year's Day I like to do some of the things I plan to keep on doing during the year, just to set the tone. Thus, I exercise, speak softly, and WRITE.

For Hanukkah this year we brought back make-it night, where the gifts you give are gifts you make. I got a necklace from my daughter and a candle holder from my son. They got a skirt and a Darth Maul cape. The skirt follows this
pattern and has been my first attempt at sewing anything that wasn't a Halloween costume. Fabric is brown corduroy with white horses.
My next project is some pillows featuring drawings by the kids. (My son has been doing this guy over and over whom he just calls "jazzy guy." I love jazzy guy. I need to see if I can get my son to paint him. Or is that too much back seat driving?)

I think you could sell the pillowcases on Etsy. that drawing is pretty cool.
