This time of the year is our most hectic, what with the holidays just around the corner, so I’m taking a quick break from sewing and having a nice cup of tea. It used to be really stressful this time of year, but now I’ve decided that most of the stress I actually put on myself. So this year I vow it will be different: I will do my holiday shopping early, and not buy crap just to say I got something. That will give me more time to focus on other things, like do my shoes really go with my outfit and what should I cook for dinner.

Holiday shopping need not involve going to a big chain store with line-ups and mayhem. You don’t need that…… This year, in an attempt to have ’something for everybody’, we have more stuff at the studio than ever before at Culture Crawl, which is November 16-18th. That’s really soon. I guess that’s why I’m so tired……….

Okay, see you soon, my break is over!!
