Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear and cool, to be upper 50s ... just what December ought to be. Oh my! How did it get to be December already??? LOL!
Last night I didn't get a lot done. I keep planning to get back to some sewing, but get distracted. I did put together a wreath to take to my cubby at work. It's not quite what I wanted ... but close enough. :)
Maybe tonight I'll get to the sewing ... along with some laundry!
