If 2023 was a cake of yarn then right about now would be the yarn barf in the middle.

I ended up doing some more office decorating, which is the most festive I've ever been in my life.

The tea towels, scarf and llama ornaments and cross stitch are all my own work. The dinosaur and kangaroo are adorable felt ornaments I bought from Pashom Kids yeaaaars ago when the nephews were smaller, but never got around to giving them. The nephews are now into Playstation games so I think my moment has passed. The crochet stars were a lovely gift from The Fleece and Wheel.

I also hung my own designed and stitched Christmas ornament, which really captures how I feel about this time of year.

On that note, happily holidays. I hope you are able to spend the final days of this year in a way that nourishes and soothes your heart.

Good for adding to any of those patterns with a massive pile of presents under a tree.

Page Summary

AI use statement

I sometimes hand write posts on a TCL NXTPAPER tablet that uses an AI Large Language Model (LLM) to convert my handwriting to text.

I do not intentionally use generative AI in anything that I make but note that I use apps (Microsoft Office, Canva, etc) that have integrated AI. These may have hidden AI 'features' operating in the background or offer assets that may be AI generated and not labelled as such.

To the best of my knowledge any content made by other people that I use or link to does not use generative AI.
