and here we are

it's less than 48 hours until christmas.

making...teacher gifts

lily's snowflake for mrs. koontz

there are still a few presents to be wrapped, there is yummy food to be made, there are two projects on knitting needles (those don't have to be done for christmas day, thank goodness! a fast knitter, i am not.), and there is a poor, pushed-aside blog that needs a little love. thanks to the gentle nudgings of two sweet ladies (yes, i am looking at you mariam, and you, too, ruthie!), well, here we are.

late night satsuma gathering

i've yet to share the girls' birthday party (it was lovely...and it was almost 3 months ago!) and three other birthday parties (all wonderful, too!), some truly lovely packages that have arrived in the mail, news about the book that i am working on (in a bookstore near you fall 2011!!!!!), and the just-about-daily silliness that those kiddos get up to.

happy birthday to poppa!

i keep telling myself that i will catch up.

late nights

and i will?

i will.

but right now, there is the business of christmas.

the grinch is on, and i have a date on the sofa with my favorite people. and i may be knitting. oh, yes...i will be knitting (there are those two other projects, you know?).

may you spend time with your favorite people, too, in the coming days, and do have yourself a merry little christmas (and maybe even a small miracle or two).

toto jane, a christmas miracle
