One Hundred And One Things

Keeping up with my 'three home-made presents per year' thing was a bit of a marathon this year; I'm not sure why. Then again, so was Christmas generally. Still, I did it, and now they've all been opened I can tell you what they were.

Left to right:

- knitted hat for my stepmother-in-law (here's the finished product - I made a scarf to match, but didn't take a photo)
- knitted hat for a BookCrossing Secret Santa (plus a Philip Hensher book, which you can just about see)
- pierniczki (I made two lots, with much cursing. One went to my family, and the other to my friend Anne).

I have...

- tried four new recipes (three soups and a pasta sauce), from three books, using the slow cooker and the stick blender
- taken photographs for seven of the Hundred Snapshots
- spent an hour playing my cello
- taken a photograph every day
- released two books
- done quite a lot of Wii Fit
- applied to become a Mystery Worshipper
- posted a commentary on Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending to ancientandmodern
- bagged musicalbible and started filling in verses from the back of the Bible - counting part-verses (which I am) I'm at 17/1001 so far. (I heartily recommend not subscribing to that one if you don't want to get spammed)
- filled in an online form by way of a first step for registering with the Anthony Nolan Trust
- wild-released two books
- tried Currywurst
- watched three TED talks
- more or less finished this year's Yuletide assignment
- prompted by Do Nothing: Christmas is Coming, finished making one Christmas present, and got most of the way through another. I've also been doing lectio divina every night and, when it's got put up before I've gone to bed, filled in the examen at wildgodcomm

I think that's it. Whew!
