Todd and S spent the better part of yesterday and today baking and decorating Christmas cookies to give to friends while I tried to get some work done. I still need to finish writing and illustrating one spring pattern, which is really late compared to our usual schedule, and then I can think about gifts and decorating. But somewhere in the middle of it all I&#8217;m hoping to escape for an hour or two on Sunday afternoon to see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comunidad.madrid\/actividades\/2018\/exposicion-modus-manera-espana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Modus. A la manera de Espa\u00f1a<\/a> show that&#8217;s just gone up here in Madrid. It includes a mixture of traditional and contemporary pieces, so I think it will be interesting.
