The past week in Tulita has been sunny with above zero temperatures. They closed the winter road to daytime traffic in order to keep it intact as long as possible. It’s even been warm enough to spot the occasional Australian outside in shorts.

It took 62 days, but we’ve finally moved in. Most of the town showed up to collect their belongings. It’s nice to finally have food, more than 2 shirts, coffee beans, board games, and 3 cozy blankets.

I ramped up my Christmas crafting this past year with increased mitt ornament production, the introduction of my new line of mini-moccasin ornaments, and my first attempts at bear claw necklaces from our bear. I will probably have to scale it back down next year, because all this crafting is quite time consuming and I still need to finish my own full-sized moccasins.
