It has been a season of making things for us in 2020 thus far. For the grownup Spearpeople it's mostly making a mess! We have begun a long-awaited house renovation, which will ultimately include a refurbished kitchen, a powder room and coat closet downstairs, and some much needed storage space in the attic. For Sylvan, who is a good sport in the midst of the house chaos, the making has been everything from custom valentines for friends to a yarn coaster he crafted, with a little help, on the loom that Santa brought him for Christmas. His creative mind is always making up new stories, too (see variety of costume pics here...) Mixed into these big projects we've had two lovely visits, with Jim's folks (who we hosted in Alexandria at George Washington's town house!) and a visit to Richmond to see Courtney's mom and family there. All in all off to a good start for the year!
