It just depends one how I am feeling, what else I have planned, if we are traveling, etc, from year to year. Last year I sewed like a maniac right up until we left for Atlanta to spend Christmas with our daughter, and started back up again as soon as we got home - the New Year. This year, not so much. Wish I was more in the mood, but having some hand surgery in a few days, and then again the week before Christmas, so I've talked myself out of starting anything that will just have to sit and wait for me to heal! Hopefully after the surgeries I will get back into the swing.
