I don’t know about anyone else, but the holidays are taking their toll.  It seems like a confluence of tasks for planning the wedding, plus general Christmas preparations has left me with very little brain to spare.

Last weekend I had a class at The Yarn Spot teaching students to crochet stuffed animals.  The class used three of Fresh Stitches patterns: the brontosaurus, the cow, the turkey and the owl.  Out of a class of four, two chose the brontosaurus, one the owl and one the cow.  I brought a half-finished cow to the class so everyone could see the different techniques I was teaching.

I tried to get a picture of the half-finshed cow, but I had a day where I couldn’t seem to take a decent picture.  There was always either a thumb or cat in the picture.  The best I could do was this:

I’ve been working hard in the background on some neat developments.  I hope to be able to announce them before the end of the year – but we’ll see.

Anyhoo, the cow has gotten me on a crochet kick, and I’ve got some cute little stuffed animals planned for various people over Christmas.  I also have a deadline four days before Christmas, so we’ll see how that goes.  *Wince*

How are you preparing for the New Year?
