December was a kind of blur.
There were 9 concerts (seven sung, one conducted, one facilitated with 20 piano students), one radio appearance (with The Singers), 1 dollhouse rehabbed, 10 Christmas stockings, half a mitten and a hat knitted, one birthday party (12 years old on 12/12, we celebrated with a dozen sprays of roses, and a dozen donuts)
Two Christmas Eve services, between which we had a little pre-Christmas gifting.

One long-overdue Christmas present of a back porch mural at my parents' house.
Christmas morning, and lots of family time.
A terrifying performance of Mozart's Laudamus Te at church (morning service, woke up with the sneezies, low A, high C, what could go wrong? It was actually fine, but I was pretty nervous about it!)
And as a capper on it all, I am teaching two kids' sewing camps this week.
I'm so very lucky to be surrounded by art and music and loved ones, I wish the same for you.
Sounds like an exhausting but wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteI love the mural. Did you paint it freehand? I've stenciled on walls, but haven't had the nerve to do an original mural.
I drew the outlines freehand, and then fine tuned and erased and fine tuned for a bit before I filled in the lines with paint
