Where the hell did my time go?

So, I missed a few days of posting... and suddenly it's the middle of December, how in the world did that happen? Must be all those full time hours I'm putting in at my supposedly part time job, I guess. And now Christmas is just around the corner, so any time I'm not working I'm crafting for everyone else. Doing scarves for the family, other than Eric and Katie (my cousin and his wife). I'm going to try my hand at colorwork. Grandma had drawn a stork and a quail holding a heart that they used on their wedding programs, I'm going to make that into a pillow. Had been planning a blanket, but no way would I get that done in time, so pillow this year, blanket next. Same with Mum, though I'll probably wrap a swatch for her and get it to her by Valentine's day. School friends won't be getting their gifts till they come back for winter term on the second, I'm planning on having a late Yule party at my place.
