Projects and parties
This was a weekend full of projects and parties. In our living room, the ugly air conditioner is the visual focal point of the room, between the two windows and above our tv. I bought some marimekko fabric a year ago intending to make a stretched canvas to cover it, but I never got around to it and then it got to be summer and we were using the air conditioner. This year I was determined to get it done. E used his art school skills to stretch the fabric on a huge frame and we got it hung. It floats a few inches away from the wall because the air conditioner sticks out behind it, but I think the floating looks kind of cool and design-y.
I also did my annual Christmas cookie making this weekend. I had to make springerle, which are a traditional family cookie. They’re flavored with anise and you roll them out with a special rolling pin to put patterns on them. I also made gingerbread men, which E decorated with raisin genitalia. And oatmeal raisin cookies, because I love my oatmeal raisin cookies.
When we weren’t making things, we were going to parties. We went to one holiday party Saturday night, a birthday brunch Sunday morning, and then two more holiday parties Saturday night. We had a lot of fun, but we were definitely tired by the end of the weekend.
