It’s been pretty quiet around GimletBlog lately, hasn’t it? At the end of October I started work on Christmas present #3, and it turned out to be a lot more involved than I expected. The small fact that the project was about twice the size of the previous two should have been an indicator, but no. As Christmas drew closer and closer, and other household and holiday tasks piled up, about two weeks ago I slowed down, made the difficult (but obvious) decision not to pursue Christmas present #4 this year, and made time to catch up on everything else.
As the post title indicates, it seems like the whole month of November was spent on the wrong side of half done, but now all that remains is the final steps of cutting and weaving bars — no fillings to slow the work down, thank goodness. Come Christmas, the recipient will get to see the work-in-progress, and meanwhile I will have been able to wrap presents and bake some cookies. No guarantees on mailing out cards, though! After Christmas there will be photos and descriptions of the first two gifts, and hopefully the third will soon follow.
