Bah humbug. No, I don't really feel that way. I do love Christmas but once it's past, I'm done! I just want the decorations in their boxes, the tree to disappear and the toys to be put away.
I am excited about starting new projects, though - tonight I cut out a jumper for J. (butterick 4842). She's 4 1/2 and according to the measurements on the envelope, is a size 2! At least her chest and waist are size 2, for height she's closer to a 5.
I learned the hard way with her nightie for Christmas that I really should pay attention to those measurements! Her nightie is HUGE. Actually I should have learned that lesson around Halloween when I partially finished a size 4 Snow White dress and it was so big that I scrapped it and started from scratch again at size 2/3. That one fits perfectly has been worn constantly for the last 2 months. In fact, she's wearing it right now. To bed. Instead of her new nightie *sigh*.
Anyway, high hopes for the jumper. My girl is so picky I never know what she'll like. I probably shouldn't put in the time and effort to make her clothes until she's out of this phase but by then she probably wont want to wear "homemade" anymore anyway! Ooo, I do sound grumpy!
