Great gift.
I work in the office of an elementary school, so gifts find their way to me around Christmas and I’m very appreciative. Most of them tend to be food. That’s usually a quite delicious thing. Today, though, one of the gifts I received was just perfect, in my opinion. It was from a Kindergartner and she made it herself. I love homemade, I love when tokens of appreciation cost less then a few dollars, I love that I can use this, and I love that the gift shows the effort the child put into it. Well done, parents!

Soooooooo Not True!
This headline tickled my fancy.

The Skirt, completed
Plot Ninja
One of the things that happened during the kickoff party for NaNoWriMo was that we all got a Plot Ninja. We were all handed sheets of paper, and we wrote down an idea, folded up the paper and sealed it. Then we exchanged the pieces of paper. The idea was that if you got stuck writing your novel, you would open up your plot ninja and incorporate it into your book. I didn’t need my plot ninja and had forgotten about it until I came across it today, while cleaning. Not a bad plot ninja, eh?

Skirt project
It seems that all that writing during NaNoWriMo pushed me in a “make something we can touch, dammit” direction and so here I am constructing a handkerchief skirt.
