Now that the boxes are unpacked, mostly. And we have settled into a routine, kind of. I am finding that I have just a little time to make stuff and it feels so good.

Beer, 45 bottles to be exact. The first batch from our Chicago homebrew operation and we are calling it “Ramsey Raspberry.” Two more weeks in the bottles conditioning before we can give it a taste. It’s going to be a long two weeks.

A wool hat for Ewan. This one is made from some of my leftover handspun yarn and it will have ear flaps. We have plenty of wonderful woolens stashed about the house for our adult sized selves, hats and mittens, scarves and socks, some sweaters too, but very little for little people. That must be remedied.

Curtains for our living room. This fabric is just so happy. At first, I thought it might actually be too happy. But now, after working with it for a little while, it feels just right. Just the sort of thing that will make me smile when I come out into the living room in the morning.

I’m hoping the making can continue because I have such a long list of things that I’m dreaming about. Little baby shoes, hand sewn handkerchiefs, embroidered tea towels, a secret surprise Christmas project (no, it isn’t too early), pumpkin oatmeal bread, a turtle costume for our little one, maple butter granola, and so very much more.
