Some folks are really into Christmas. Some of this year's Christmas cookies. The bottom photo - the birch trees - is the "official" design of 2024, the one I made a couple dozen of & will send to a few far-away friends.
I enjoy royal icing decorating, and I always think I will make designs for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, but honestly it's a production! It takes several hours over at least two days. Usually when those events come around I find I am too busy with my classes & studio work. I do have an ideas for a Mother's Day design, inspired by Renoir. We'll see if that happens of if it stays safely in my brain where I can't make a mess of it.
Anyway! I haven't been doing much work in the studio, as while my classes are on holiday break I catch up on all the stuff I put off the rest of the year: cookies, soap, home improvement projects. I also work on my annual aspiration list for the upcoming year; this year it's 25 for 2025. Funny, but last year I had a hard time coming up with 24; this time I am having to edit & whittle & prioritize to keep the list to 25.

You'll hear more about my list during the Week of Reflection, between Christmas & New Year's, when I have time to slow down enough to think.
Happy holidays, my friends! I foresee some bumpy road ahead but we'll do our best.
