Working at a boarding school during a pandemic is no joke. I thought I was busy the last three years here - ha! I barely have time to eat or use the restroom this year! But the first round of college applications have been submitted, so I am finally feeling like I can stop and breathe. The students leave for an extended break on Friday, at which point I hope to spend more time reading and knitting and quilting.
I have gotten a few things done in the last few months, though, by making sure I make time for me, even if it is just 15 minutes of sewing or knitting every day.
Just today, I finished piecing a top for a friend's daughter whom she will be adopting into her family in just a few weeks.

A few weeks ago I finished this baby quilt and gave it to a co-worker's new baby.

I've made dozens of masks - I think this one is my son's favorite.

| I love this pattern! |
I knit crowns for three friends for their birthdays during long Zoom meetings.
I whipped up a couple more mini Christmas stockings for my ETSY shop.
And I am just ten LONG rows away from being finished with my Campfire Cozy Shawl.

| It's too big to get a real picture until it is off the needles. Hopefully by Thanksgiving. I plan to curl up in this all winter long! Here, I was knitting during Dining Hall Duty. |
Looking at all of this, I'm pretty impressed with how much I got done this fall! What's on/under your needle? Another thing I hope to get back to during break is reading everyone else's blogs!
