I made a first draft of a snowflake design based on a beautiful card by Robert Sabuda. Way, way too ornate for me this year; I just don’t have the paper engineering skills yet. But I have a simpler Plan B already in mind.

Back on the bike. I took a shot at this in 2006, but wound up learning to ride stoker on the tandem instead, which is a thousand times easier. A bunch of things got in my way, not the least of which was a hip injury. Now I’m starting all over again.
I think my big mistake in 2006 was not going out on the bike every day. Instead, I was trying to balance bike riding with all the other physical things I was doing, which meant that I got out on it more like once a week. This allowed the dread to build up to levels that were unrealistically difficult to conquer.

I’ve started to learn to mix colors, using a couple of dog brushes in place of carding combs. It’s giving the felt a good depth of color.
