I can't actually remember when I last checked in, but I've had several sessions of knitting on the wingspan shawl (usually 2 rows each) and on the eclectic cable scarf (averaging about 10 to 15 rows each time) while watching DVDs from the library. I've run out of Poirot, so I switched to Murdoch Mysteries until I ran out of that, and am now on Midsomer Murders. Hopefully, I'll be able to get more DVDs at the library Monday.
On Thanksgiving itself, I had a pretty much all day knitting session with the wingspan shawl, with breaks for food prep, eating, and checking on cats, but it only added another 4 rows.
Last Monday was card making with Lynne again. While I dislike Thanksgiving and doing crafts for it, I know Lynne is very into it, so I thought we'd do fun cards inspired by the hand turkeys they make kids do in kindergarten. Lynne was happy with the finished product, but was less enthused with the process. Sometimes I forget that the more childlike the process, the more difficult it is for her. The cards I have planned for this coming Monday are much more grown-up looking. They should be fine. While I was at Lynne's, I also designed 2 Christmas themed cards, instead of 1 set.
Wednesday was the second to last session on the art book workshop. I didn't think to put wax paper between the pages of my book after the last time I worked on it, so there were a lot of boo boos where things stuck together to fix or work around. It was a fun session though.
I have also preregistered my mom and myself for an ornament making workshop.
It's kinda funny that the question is about what's on your holiday wishlist because most of the last week's downtime was trying to get my wishlist for holiday_wishes (done) and my wishlist for fandomtrees (still not done) finished. If someone asks me IRL what I want this year, they are probably just going to get a deer in the headlights look.
