Merry Christmas

"Merry Christmas!" says the bear in the 10-minute-insta-sweater I made it, my only finished craft project lately.

Hope everyones' holidays are going well. Mine did! Small Christmas, but a good one- I got a macro lens for my camera (macro lenses tend to be really expensive so it was exciting for me to get one).

I took this photo from 8 yards away with my macro lens! This catapult was my present for my brother- he loved it!

Tomorrow I'm heading out with family to visit my grandparents, who I haven't seen (not counting graduations) since I was about 15 years old. It's a 15 hour drive each way, and since I get crazy car sick at the least provocation, I'm taking along a pound-sized ball of yarn for my latest crochet project- it involves 30 8"x8" squares in different stitches that get sewn together into a moderately sized afghan throw. At this point I only have one square done, so there's room for a lot of work during the drive!

Hoping everyone traveling gets where they're going safely, and I'll be back in a few weeks with updates!
