So, here we are two weeks from Christmas. The last few weeks have been a flurry of activity as I prepare for Christmas craft shows and gifts for my own family. A lot of crocheting and sewing has been happening in the Ritzy household. I will be posting some of the results of my crafting on etsy this weekend.

In the mean time, winter has hit with a vengence. The temperatures have been -30 C at night and not much better during the day. I have a hard time venturing out of the house each day. I would rather curl up with my crochet and hot chocolate!!

I have been experimenting with some wools lately. Used to crocheting with Acrylic, the chunky wool has been a delight to work with. Watch for some warm and cozies coming soon to my etsy store.

I am trying to narrow my interests a little. I am so ADHD when it comes to what I am working on. I have half finished projects all over the living room. I need to focus on just a few core things. I plan to spend the first month af the new year reevaluating my project rouster and planning for upcoming Spring Craft shows.

I find the month of December too hecktic for self-evaluation. There is all the added pressures of shopping, baking and preparing for family. I am happy to report that not a lot of money is being spent on extravigant gifts at the Ritzy household. Instead I am making gifts as I usually do. Instead of large sums of money, it is luxuriuos fabrics, chunky, warm wools, creativity and elbow grease!!!
