coraaIn happier news!
This weekend is Christmas Present Synthesis Weekend (since the ebay packages with all the craft supplies to make them with have begun to trickle in). I have:
* pocketwatch gears
* beautiful spiral mainsprings
* gemstone chip beads
* lengths of chain
* scrap silk
* watercolor cotton in two colors
* organza in three colors
* velvet in four colors
* four different kinds of leather pieces
* odd little charms
...and more miscellanea coming, including a set of leatherworking punches. (I need to get some hardware -- bead wire, needles, that kind of thing -- from actual stores this weekend, but ebay has proved to have both a more interestingly esoteric selection and cheaper prices. Whee.)
Since I can deliver family presents in person, and presents for friends largely in person (since we'll be back in LA shortly after Christmas, so I can hand-deliver to both local and California friends), I expect that my holiday package-ness will mostly be components coming to me rather than presents being mailed. Heh. (The other advantage of hand-delivering is that I don't have to have everything done three weeks before Christmas, which is, er, now.) Plus some of my presents and present elements will be edible.
I need a crafting icon.
