HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope your holidays were filled with love and wonder. We had a very nice Christmas at home with just the 4 of us (7 if you include the critters). It snowed Christmas Eve and dd6 & I took the dogs out walking as we delivered the 11th day of christmas gift. It was so quiet and peaceful and pretty!

That snow melted but we have more on the ground now to help welcome the new year in. We really should have a winter retreat! Sipping hot chocolate by the fire as we sew all night and then snow ball fights during the day would be so much fun!




By now everyone should have her 1/4 yd of fabric for the retreat challenge. If you don't, please contact me and I'll get it out to you. If you don't remember what it looks like, here's a reminder:

If you are stuck inside, procrastinating on the challenge or if you just like reading, pick up a copy of a Beverly Lewis (click and you'll be taken to her website) novel and you'll get to read about the Amish in the area you'll be visiting in June.

That's less than 6 months from now! It'll be here before we know it. Hopefully not before we are ready though...So if you haven't gotten your 2nd payment to me yet, you'd better get hopping. January 3rd is the due date!
