The weekend is coming (how nice!), after winter has already come here; we've had first snow this week, and most of it, to my surprise and delight, has actually not molten away yet, but stayed.

Otherwise, this week has been one of those where you do lots of small things and afterwards have the impression of having achieved nothing at all, which makes for an annoying feeling... and a non-shrunken to-do-list, of course!

So I'm feeling half exasperated that the weekend is almost here already and half delighted that it is. And while I'm trying to decide what feeling will win, here's a link for you: Go check out historicaltextiles.org as there is, like every year, a wonderful textile advent calendar with a photo of a historical textile every day!
