working on analyzing loads and loads of MARC serials records

reading many books at once, including The Parable of the Sower, Mosses from the Old Manse, a book on altering and creating sewing patterns, and a book on drawing.

reveling in old issues of Sassy Magazine, recently acquired from eBay

cooking recipes from Everyday Food

studying the newly released BIBFRAME document on library cataloging standards

planning all the things I want to make for people for Christmas (and all the cookies I want to make, too)

sewing a handbag that I LOVE, and giving a failed skirt another try

writing a novel! Yes, I participated in NaNoWriMo this year.

also writing a book on data management for librarians, manuscript due early January

missing my girls, after a weekend of cuddling and playing with them over Thanksgiving (I’m missing the rest of my family, too)

obsessing over vintage hairstyles, vintage clothing, vintage shoes

learning about clothing construction, patterns, jewelry making, drawing. Perhaps I have too many hobbies

dreaming of what 2013 will hold
