1. Ladies' Christmas Brunch for church. I didn't decorate a table this year, but I helped my mother set up hers. The array and elegance of decorations was really good this year! As was the food, and the speaker. It was a good morning.
2. Playing around with dyeing again. I overdyed a dress that I spilt red candle wax on last year. It was tedious and slightly stressful, but I averted any mess and the dress is lovely.
3. Cooking! While watching "It Takes a Thief" in the evening, I made leek and potato soup again. I also made "hard sauce," from my great-grandmother's recipe. It's to go on a gingerbread cake I'm taking to a Christmas party on Sunday night. I'm not sure why it's a "hard" sauce, because it's essentially icing: butter, powdered sugar, and three flavorings, including lemon. It's still really good!
