Dear Santa! I'm pretty excited about that armadillo. Wonder what the cats will make of it. (Lunch?) I like to knit socks and mittens 'cause they make up fast. Of beads, mostly seed bead things. I like small crystals or stone chips or charms or molded/sculpted/relief patterned ones--I guess small is the operational word. Oh, I just bead earrings and other fairly delicate jewelry and decorative bits. I learned from a pattern to make a three-dimensional hummingbird (seed beads) about the size of the real thing--stuff like that. Enough about me already! Are you having a nice run-up to Christmas or the solstice holiday of your choice, I hope?
