My wife and I are not good with holding back presents. Or keeping secrets about presents. So here's my Christmas Present early. I think they are so pretty!

Damn is that cast iron??

The platelet donation went well! I should get my A1C results at...some point. I haven't actually done the screening through a red cross promotion before.

A relative wants a stuffy that's essentially a squishmallow for christmas. So I made and tested a squishmallow sewing pattern over the weekend. Now I need to make the actual stuffy.
