a little forward momentum

It's warm! It's warm!

The unexpected warm spell this weekend (and today!) is a little bit insane. I just want to run outside and jump around, absolutely silly, when I know perfectly well that 18-degree weather three months ago would have made me bundle up and grumble about unseasonal weather. But never mind all that: it's warm! It's warm!

Ahem.

Much as I would have liked to spend all weekend outside (and yes, really, I would have preferred that), I spent most of it working instead. Pierre pitched in and took some lovely photos of the newest Gocco design for Christmas:

And I, uh, made the cards.

I also finished the latest batch of baby congratulations cards:

Just in time, too. Two of these will be winging out of here soon; a friend gave birth last week, and another is expected to do the same sometime this week. And as soon as Christmas printmaking and knitting are out of the way, I need to start on a baby-related project for yet another friend. It's that time of decade, I guess.

(I have also been knitting, never fear. But right now I am working on a sweater for Pierre — Christmas deadline — and I decided to start with the back, which means inches and yards of straight stockinette. It's not exactly photogenic, but it is very soothing to not have to worry about a pattern. Yet.)
