I’m getting ready to go visit my mom for the holidays, and I’m really looking forward to relaxing and unplugging for a week. She lives in a small town at the north end of Vancouver Island, and it is so beautiful and so quiet up there. I can’t wait to see the tree all decked out, and enjoy some quality family time with her and my brother. Unfortunately the significant other can’t come due to work, but I think a little time apart will be nice as well, since I know I’ll be missing him by the time the week is up.
I’m tying up all the loose ends in my Etsy shop, to make sure everything’s covered before I go away. I’ve had quite a few orders this year, which is fantastic. I’m just finishing up the last orders and I’ve deactivated any made-to-order listings for the time being as I won’t have time to finish them before I go. As a result the shop is looking a little sparse. On the plus side I will have lots of knitting time while I’m up there so I’ll have lots of good stuff to restock the shop when I get back. I’m also hoping to do some spinning, which will be wonderful. I haven’t spun any new yarn in a few months since knitting has been keeping me pretty busy. I’ve got some great hand-dyed fiber in my stash from various Etsy sellers. It’ll be great to get back into spinning with rovings like this one from Squoosh!
And, after all the work I put into my new blog, I’m looking forward to getting on a regular posting schedule again as well. I’m still planning to strike a balance between personal content and Etsy-related posts, and I’ll be bringing back all my regular features, such as Etsy Monday, Tuesday Top 12 and Wool Room Music, with the addition of a couple more surprises!
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and I’ll be back in full swing by the New Year!
