This is the season of secrets.  A season when I am involved in more creative projects at one time than almost any other time of the year – and I can’t talk about them!  (Well, at least not yet.)

Even cooking is taking a back seat these days as I rely on easy family favourites.

This is the season of tiptoeing around and humming, of closed doors and secret wrapping, of boxes and goodies hidden away in unused corners of the house.

And so things are a little quiet around Laundry on the Line too. 

But they won’t be for too much longer.

On Monday I will be participating in Sew, Mama, Sew’s Giveaway day!  If you love to sew, or you love handmade things, you’ll definitely want to check out some of the many, many, many creative blogs that will be hosting giveaways on Monday (and throughout the week, which is a good thing since it can take all week to visit them all!)

Friday will be the last day of school and so I will be spending some of this week making gifts for my students.  Nothing as elaborate as last year, but I hope to make something they will enjoy!  (Who knew I would be teaching the same class for the third year in a row?) 

And after that getting ready for Christmas will begin in earnest.  I can’t wait to pull out the Christmas decorations and make the house look festive, and to have time to putter around in the kitchen, making delicious holiday meals.

But for now it is back to secretive sewing and crafting.  Shhh……. 

See you on Monday!
