That Season Has Begun

It started off non-festively. I entered the mall looking for a geeky card of some sort to send along with this exploding sewing kit...

(Oh, what a horrible picture! It is much more red in real life. Tutorial with good pictures to come.)

...which I ended up not finding. However, I did end up leaving with my first Christmas present purchase of the year.

Since then, I've started Christmas crafting. Boo. But, hopefully, I'll skip the last-minute rush and, you know, I get to craft so yay!
