I finally took my Christmas tree down yesterday. This represents progress as I have been known to wait until almost Easter to do it in past years. I have used a lot of excuses to justify keeping it prominently displayed after New Year's. The first one is Orthodox Christmas which is on January 7 and then there's my birthday and then there's my wedding anniversary. And then this year I used the fact that I didn't get it decorated until a week before Christmas, as if that gave me an extension of sorts. Most of them are fairly weak excuses but here's the deal: I love my Christmas tree. It's an odd color combination: lots of vintage silver tinsel garlands, white, gold, silver, copper and robin's egg blue ornaments, plus clear glass icicles and snowflakes. It works for me.
I have no New Year's resolutions other than to keep up my blog, get my Etsy store operational and sleep in late more often.
At the moment, I have no new completed pieces of anything. I worked really hard on my two craft shows before Christmas and I'm just getting back to playing in my studio. The weather has been so foggy I have felt a little gray myself.
Ah, but the sun is coming out.
