Well, I do have some time at the moment, being off work for the next few days (thank you, University System of Maryland!) but I don't even know what to start next. I had wanted to take a little time from knitting (I know, heresy!) and do some beadin

I know, I'm turning into a slacker again.  But I'm so busy during the day at work in these few weeks before Christmas!  I've been putting together a very Hallmark-ish memory book for a dean who is retiring, plus working on the Adopt-A-Family commit
