Yule, Crafts, etc

The best news I have is that I finally appear to be on the mend! I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I truly prefer my herbal remedies, but sometimes modern medicine needs to intervene and this is definitely one of those times. For the first time in weeks, I am barely coughing and feeling human once again.

My Yule is going to be very quiet this year. I'm going to bake, light some candles (must remember to pick some up!) and do my ritual. I have some new tools to bless as well and will do those then. There are times that I think I would love to have other Wiccans to gather with, but at the same time, I also love celebrating in my own quiet way.

I have some crafts I've been making for the holidays as well. A friend asked me to make her a pair of socks and I have those finished, but now must wait for the weather to be more cooperative before I post them. They're posted below. I'm also taking a break from knitting for someone else's Christmas gifts to make myself a much needed hat.

These are the socks, which I'm having a hard time parting with:

And this is the new hat in progress. It's not much, yet, but I have high hopes! :D
