Hm. Excuses, excuses, but I have some pretty damn good ones this round. One of those excuses is that K and I saw each other probably three total times this month, and two of those were in situations that didn't allow for pattern fitting. All the dyeing and stamping kind of has to wait for the patterns to exist.

I also completely rearranged my apartment! In fact, I'm still a bit in the midst of organizing and getting rid of things I didn't even know I had until I moved them (my personal metric for deciding that I really don't need to continue possessing A Thing). And Thanksgiving happened, and I helped move about ninety million metric tonnes of mulch and compost (okay, it was like 800 pounds over the whole month. Still.)

Also also, I just wasn't very motivated this month, other than for the Christmas presents...and even those I set down in favor of reading or organizing more stuff (I have...a lot of fabric. Like I shouldn't buy any for the next five years, probably, except we all know that won't happen).

Hope truly does spring eternal, especially considering there are a number of events and holidays and travel plans stuffed in this month, too. Still, Maybe This Is The Month My Motivation Comes Back From Her Sabbatical.

The Basket of Shame is where past-Sabine apparently stuffed a great many projects that she got bored with or made a mistake on, and then forgot about. They're going to be putting in appearances as I work through them.
