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.

It was Maciek’s birthday last week, so I made pho from scratch, or as close to scratch as possible in Tulita (the broth is grouse-based rather than oxtail-based). I also made summer rolls as an appetizer.

Not to be completely outdone in the cake department, I made a cherry cheesecake, which was delicious.
