I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
I got “The King’s Servants” (YAY!!!). And costume books that MomP picked up for me from their trip to Williamsburg. Plus the PHB and DMG 4-2.
CJ got a great haul, lots of toys, most of them learning toys in some way or another, and some cars from Mom & Dad because they “have wheels”.

Yay! I like it when stuff gets done. I put a new page up on the new Corseted Duct Tape Dress Form Mom and I made yesterday. Not only photos, but instructions on how to make one yourself.
I tried the pants (with codpiece attached) on CJ, and they fit!!! YAY! He just needs some tights and I need to finish the “gown”, and see if I’m going to make him a new shirt with some ruffles and lace.
Today I got the Christmas tree put up, and picked up where daddy left off when putting out out-side Christmas lights.
I have to finish cleaning up the dining room, and put out the manger scene, and also finish cleaning my “sewing” room (so I can actually sew in there again). Ok, so the last part is a little doubtful…
I’m still tired from Christmas.
Christmas Eve, we lost power. I have a LOT of candles at Jen’s house from our Orrorsh section in Torg. I still didn’t light all the candles I have, had only 2 dozen going and Chris was able to read fairly easily. Power came back at around 2-3am. We have gas baseboard heat so that wasn’t a problem ( I wasn’t sure if it would be). We couldn’t get a fire going because that would require us to get the firewood in the garage that doesn’t have a man door.
Of course CJ made out like a bandit.
As usual, my favorite gift came from Bella. She always gives me the best gifts. A few years ago she got me a cutting table. This year she got me POF 4. W00T!!!! It’s so pretty and color. *pant pant drool*
My in-laws got me a Butterick pattern cabinet from a going out of business JoAnn’s, but my FiL refinished (sanded, primed & painted) it so it looks almost brand new. I just hope it fits in the basement or this desk I’m using right now will go back in the garage…
I think I’m coming down with something. Yea.
