Truthfully, my lace gift has been to take a break from lace for a while :) Other than some quickie crochet ornaments back in November I haven't done anything lace related. I'm hoping the mental break will help me find a focus - I've had so many 'If Only' ideas running through my head that I can't get any one to the point of doing. So I'm finishing off some old projects, clearing up the random piles of sweater sleeves and half-done socks, freeing needles and putting bobbins away. I hope to have a project to start at the end of the week - New Year's Day seems appropriate for new works.
Other than that, my hubby and I swore off gift giving this year. As hideously corny as it sounds, we're happy enough with each other that we didn't feel the need for anything more, and not stressing out over gifts was a gift itself (we tend to get what we need/want as it comes up, not wait for once or twice a year, so there's not much to give each other). It's strange to many or our friends, but it worked for us. A very happy Christmas was had :D Chris :) ===== "A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for." -- Benazir Bhutto __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
