Hello Friends
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I was blessed with some wonderful gifts. And time with my family. There are only 6 of us and we wore masks and stayed apart. We had good food and watched White Christmas.
As I am reflecting on this past year, I am encouraged to come up with some goals. I did a very bad job of sewing this year. Yes, I did finish some things. But not as much as I could have. I made a lot of masks that I really did not want to make. I think this next year will be a year of sewing what I want. I have lots of patterns and fabric just waiting to be used. Here is a list of goals for next year - sewing and other things:
- Read more! I really need to step up my game. Get the tv off and read! I am hoping to finish at least 12 books next year.
- On Ringo Lake Quilt. This was a Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt in 2017. It is time for borders and quilting.
- Unity Quilt. This is also a Bonnie Hunter quilt. She created it when Covid first started. I started to play along and got most of the rows together but ran into a problem with the final rows not fitting. I tore this all apart and need to remeasure my seam allowance.
- Organize my fabric. I am still trying to figure out my sewing room space. Lots of scraps need to be organized.
- Work on house projects. I need to paint the kitchen, repaint the dining room and paint the dining room table and chairs.
That is all I am putting on here for now. I know there are a lot more projects and things I want to do, but I need to focus on these things first. The rest will come in time.
I am also working on my word of the year. Any guesses?
I will leave you with a picture of a gift I received for my birthday. Yes, I turned 50 this year. But given Covid, I think I will turn 50 next year when it is hopefully safe to celebrate!
Happy New Year!
Blessings
Amy
