My obsession with all things Japanese/Korean is not going anywhere in ’09. Take for example a find from early Saturday morning: Petit Pattern books. Totally charming clip art. Available at amazon, and Uppercase (for starters). See the full range at the publisher’s website (bnn.co.jp).
Happy 2009! I’ll be back on Monday with regular posts, but wanted you to know that today, my friend Gilly and I have embarked on a new project: Saturday Mornings.
Stop in to oursaturdaymornings.blogspot.com each Saturday to see our latest diptych, and thanks to Gilly for doing the lion(ess)’s share of the work on our new site. I look forward to our weekly collaboration.
Here we are: my final blog post for 2008. Today is also the last day of school (unless the predicted snow day happens) and then it’s two weeks of family time and holiday activities, like cookie baking, hot chocolate drinking, present opening, lots and lots of eating, and some decadent laziness (you gotta dream).
I’m also hoping that as the blogosphere slows down over the next two weeks I’ll be able to read some posts I’ve left “unread” because they were too interesting to scan through in my current pre-Christmas manic state. So, here’s to appreciating a little down time.
And now, On with the Five:
Have a wonderful holiday, whatever you’re celebrating, and a very Happy New Year. I will see you back in this space on Monday, January 5. 2009.
Until then.
Update: We got our snow day! Winter break is on!

How badly do I wish I could hop on my Segway (sorry, watching waaay too much Arrested Development right now) and ride on over to Sketch Ice Cream to pick up a “fixins” or “faves” gift set? Very badly. Salted caramel sauce craving badly. Check it all out at the Sketch blog.
