Christmas is now officially off and running at a steady pace in the Houghton household. Friday was the much anticipated arrival home of my twin sister who drove 14 hours in one day from her former home in North Carolina to her real home, Springfield. She's back, babay. She starts her new job as the Operations Manager at Askinosie Chocolate tomorrow. I'm so excited she's back , I can't even tell you...
Secondly, the movie Jeff has been working on for what seems like decades now priemired today at the Moxie--"To and From." I have to say I was overwhelemed with pride watching this thing and seeing my husband on the big screen. He plays Harry who comes home for Christmas to be with his grandpa (Robert E. Smith the painter) and falls in love with his doctor (Sarah Jenkins). Jeff Jenkins is in it as well playing a crazy ex-boyfriend (he plays the part well). Anyway, it was wonderful. funny, of course, but Jeff sorta plays a straight quiet character, which is a nice change to the goofy stuff I usually see him do.
Finally, well... Christmas! I am so stinkin happy, first of all, to have a two week break from school. I have a final final (does that make sense?) due Tuesday, and then I don't start back until January 8th. In that second week of January I'll be workin' my tail off with meetings at Burrell and starting my new internship at Cherokee Middle School-- not to mention starting the four classes I'm enrolled in next semester---but hey, at least I get a breather before it all starts up again...
and next week is lookin' good. I'll be a bit busy at work, but Monday is the fun gift exchange with my friends I always look forward to each year. Also I get to see the Swinks for the first time in several months. Finally, Jeff and I are off to Iowa City for several days to see his family.
Last but not least, Brandon Goodwin made Jeff and I really amazing Christmas mix. It makes writing this paper a bit easier. I really like Christmas.

I was surfing around finding some sewing inspiration, and stumbled onto your site. I saw you mention Mute Math's Darren King, and wonder if you are the one that embellishes all of his extremely awesome shirts/jackets? If you are, then I have admired your work for years. If you are not, I have admired your work for a couple minutes. You make pretty things. Keep creating! and Merry Christmas.
