It's still January, so I can get away with sending New Year wishes for a few more days.

I'm happy to report that my Christmas crafting went well. I made scarves for my sister and mother, the socks for Bruce and heart-shaped lavender sachets for friends. On the baking front, I made heaps of mince pies, biccies, xmas puddings (gave some as pressies) and some truffles (not really baked, nor were the puds).

For wrapping paper I used plain brown paper dressed up with drawn decorations. I also drew on a recycling symbol, which I hope reminded people what to do with the paper when they were finished.

In other news, I've been doing really well in reducing the rubbish that goes in the bin. Recycling and composting is way up and the worms are thriving.
