But I&#8217;ve found a little time, mostly while on airplanes, which has resulted in a hat (to be donated to Kelly Kaps, which gives hats to children undergoing chemotherapy&#8230; just typing that breaks my heart a little) and a scarf (which I&#8217;m keeping, though the &#8220;pattern&#8221; was fun enough that I will do it again, if I can find a way to keep it from curling in on itself when complete). And more than a couple of coffee cup cozies, which I am planning to sell on Etsy to raise funds for <a href=\"http:\/\/main.diabetes.org\/goto\/corals\">my Tour de Cure ride<\/a>, next year. (I&#8217;ll link the shop when I get it put together.)<\/p>\n<p>Want to see the hat and scarf? Of course you do. ;)<br \/>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-281 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hat2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hat2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/scarf1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/scarf1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/scarf-texture.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/scarf-texture-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hat1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hat1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not my only craft-related news! I am also pleased to announce that I&#8217;ll be joining the crew at <a href=\"http:\/\/geekcrafts.com\/\">Geek Crafts<\/a>, blogging about the intersection of, you guessed it, geekery and craftiness, primarily on Wednesdays. It is fully my intention to represent Team Librarian and share the library love&#8211;so if you&#8217;re aware of some excellent library-themed crafts, especially ones with available tutorials, please let me know! There&#8217;s also a dearth of proper computer geekery&#8211;computer <em>games<\/em> aside&#8211;so if you see any of that, too, please send it along! (I&#8217;m not being lazy. I will continue to scour the internet for such things, I promise. It&#8217;s a hard life, looking for fun crafts, but I&#8217;ll get through somehow. ;))<\/p>\n<p>I just bought myself a scroll thing (as opposed to a hoop) for cross-stitch, so I may begin a bigger-than-normal cross stitch project over the holidays. Or I might get to more of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.subversivecrossstitch.com\/\">subversive<\/a> ones on my list. We&#8217;ll just have to see. Also, I got signed up for a hat exchange? So there might be another hat like the one above, but speckled brown. And possibly sans fun tassle. We&#8217;ll see. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t taken the time for crafting, this year, that I normally do.
