The weather is very cold over there, and I don't have enough warm clothes (since in Cyprus you don't need really warm clothes anyway), so I'm dreading this a bit as well.
I won't have access to the internet during this time, so I'm going to miss my online friends and jewelry making and book reading/trading forums that I usually frequent.
I'll take the camera with me and hope to get some nice pictures to post when I'm back end of January.
In the meantime, here is a quick bracelet I made two days ago, red agate and yellow-green turquise with sterling silver. I quite like it, it was fun and relatively fast to make - compared to the big pendants I was busy making during the last few weeks.
