Thanks to everyone who dropped by for this weekend’s holiday party and participated in decorating cookies with heraldic designs.

Sadly, I didn’t get pictures of all of the cookies, or of the hot mulled beverages simmering on the stove, but hopefully the photos below will give you a hint of how the day went.

Our thanks to Madwen for hosting the eight of us for a pleasant afternoon of handcrafts, snacks, and friendly chatter. We had a delightful mix of newcomers and old-timers — of locals with folks who’d come in from nearby cantons — and of beginners practicing new skills and experts putting well-honed crafts to work. We look forward to seeing folks again next month!
