Today's writing prompt:
It's your birthday and you are at a huge dinner with all of your friends when hugely embarrassing things start happening to you. What are your friends doing and saying? What strange gifts do you receive? And do you get drunk enough to not remember it all in the morning?
I wouldn't say that I got any writing done today, but I did wrap my hubby's birthday presents, have dinner out (and dessert), walk the dog twice (kind of cursory, because he got play outside time with my hubby who was home today), and various other useful things. I have the best husband in the world, and I loved spending time with him today!
I have a lot of things to do between now and the end of the month and then another whole pile of things between the end of the month and mid-December. Right now, I am mostly making coffee cuffs for a holiday bazaar at the end of the month. Yup, coffee cuffs. People buy them, because it helps them feel like they are being green, and to a certain extent it is true. Of course, it is more green to buy a reusable container than a coffee cuff, but the cuff is an easier step. Also some reusable containers lack insulating properties, leaving you wanting something to protect your hands. They can be cute, functional and great stocking stuffers for people who don't want to pay more than $10-15 dollars for an item (my favorite among the hand knit and crocheted ones, other than mine are these ones on Etsy).
I also, possibly stupidly, am thinking of knitting small things for gifts. While a pair of socks might take me two to three weeks if I only concentrate on it, there are some other things I can knit that should be fun and a little bit quicker!
