Things I want for Christmas

I’ve been having thoughts along these lines, and after I read this post (thanks for the link, merlin!) I nodded and said, “this.”

housecleaning

Two quick housekeeping things:

We have an espresso machine that we’re not using. If you’re interested, I’m happy to put it in your hands. Preference for local friends, but if nobody local, I’ll ship it just to get it out of the house and in a better home.
As part of a recent order with Vlisco, I received a very detailed pattern for a bomber jacket. It’s not something I’ll ever make, but I hate to toss it. If you know of someone who loves garment sewing and might be interested in this, I’m happy to drop it in the mail. There are details and a few photos on this Facebook page and you can probably turn up more if you do a bit of web searching.

I’ll update this post if either are claimed.

Update #1: espresso machine has been claimed.
