Hello, and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and December is here. The stores and the houses are starting to wear their holiday things, and the radio stations are playing Christmas carols and other seasonal songs.

Our front page has been updated, with a brief article about winter, familiar things, and expanding horizons. On the same page, you will find a link to our 2003 Holiday Project-A-Day Calendar. We did this last year, and the response was very positive, so we decided to do it again. Each day has a link to a different project; explore and enjoy!

The Gallery has been updated, too. If you haven't stopped by to take a look lately, we invite you to do so. There are new pictures in the "Miscellaneous" category, of an elaborate medieval-style cloak, and "For The Home" has pictures of sofa cushion covers made by combining different fabrics. If you have pictures of things you have made, we'd love to post those also!

Finally, I want to remind everyone that we have a weekly chat session, on Thursday evenings at 8 PM Eastern time. This could be a wonderful oppurtunity to get to know your fellow stitches, meet new friends, and share your knowledge of, and love for, sewing.

Whether you celeberate one holiday, many holidays, or none at all, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy winter season!
