Not really, cold enough for gloves and scarves. Being so near the mountains
we are blessed with severely disturbed weather. We're expecting snow this
weekend. ::sigh:: but it's not really cold.
But the fingerless gloves will be really cool for Christmas. And! I found
a pattern for them among my craft mag stash.
I finally decided to make a pencil frame for the upcoming birthday. Found
it in a magazine I've had for years. I never throw my craft mags away.
