We set extremely low ambitions for these holidays ....

.... unfortunately we fell short of achieving them.

These past two weeks have been among the most slothful I can remember spending. Ever.

I was more energetic in the weeks after birthin' babies than I have been over this Christmas.
our seasonal lttle village
I have discovered a new skill or two in this time, been delighted with thoughtful gifts from family new friends and old.
tablerunner I am in love with and adore

But now the decorations are packed away, the last of the holiday fare has been consumed and it is time to return to a more normal operating schedule.
Wish us luck!

  1. It seems to me the whole blogging universe spent the last two weeks slothfully.

    I know I did!

  2. We've had a pretty slothful time too and I've realised I'm not a natural born sloth - unless I'm left entirely alone to knit, of course.

    Love your tablerunner. I hope you get to keep it on the table all year - far too lovely to put away.

  4. Bleeuuughhh. I am moving too slowly to comment really, due to mince pie torpor, but Trash, can you explain why there's a giant Christmas cake on top of one of your tiny Christmas roofs/rooves? Did the tiny tiny baker have a fit of pique? Did his lady run off with the gym intructor? Still, the tiny tiny robins will have snackage galore. Which is nice.

  6. i do think SLOTH is the least appreciated...and in many ways, most useful...of the deadly sins. sure, the glamorous big ticket sins get all the attention, like those show-offy LUST & GREED fellas...but those require so darned much *effort*! (and in the case of LUST, probably some fancy undergarments) whereas dear old SLOTH is such an approachable, come-as-you-are sin. gotta like that. :)
