Guess the years really do go by faster as you get older. When I wake up tomorrow morning it will be the 1st December and we all know what that means- being freezing cold, living in near constant darkness and having to listen to the same inane songs every time we step outside the house.
All grumpiness aside I normally love the winter season but this year is looking to be an exception. 2016 has been a pretty rotten year and as was evidenced only a few days ago by the passing of Ron Glass it still hasn't finished beating the stuffing out of us. Now I have definitely had worse years during my life, 2008 and 2009 were pretty horrific both in terms of the global recession and the personal consequences it had for me and my friends. I think the key difference here is that the recession didn't shock me. It was obvious that it was going to happen sooner or later because economies were growing at an unsustainable rate and a collapse was the inevitable result. But 2016 did shock me. People are so much more racist, sexist and homophobic than I thought possible in this day and age and it has shocked me to my core. This year we have witnessed society regressing backwards and it has pretty much killed my seasonal goodwill toward others.
As such although I will be doing a number of seasonal themed crafting posts I will not be doing a month long post-a-day Christmas/Mid-Winter special like I did with Halloween. My heart simply would not be in it and I think it would be obvious that I was half-arsing my way through it. That being said if there are any specific crafty things you would like to see a tutorial for please comment below and I will do my best to include them in my schedule.
Wishing you all the best of luck in the cold weather ahead. Be good to each other and look after your elderly.
