Happy New Year!

2016!!

When I was a child, I'd think about how old I would be in

certain years and think...

"Wow! When it's 2000 I'll be 40 years old!

THAT is old!"

Here I am... 55 at the start of 2016 and

first of all, I am thankful to be here,

second of all... I don't feel old at all.

What did I know when I was  young?

I am not one to make resolutions,

mainly because when I have, they have lasted

all of a day, or maybe a week. :)

This year

I do hope to be more aware...

more aware of what I do with my time,

more aware of what I do with my actions,

 more aware of the needs of others,

more aware of what my body and spirit need,

and more aware of what I can do to make life easier

for my family, for others and for me.

Happy 2016 everyone!

Yesterday I spent some time in my Hidey Hole

working on the last sections of the "Gravity" quilt.

These are taking much longer to make than I thought!

 

The picture isn't too exciting because the fabrics are different shades of gray,

but I have finished three of the sections needed.

Hopefully I will finish all of the sections today and begin to 

sew the whole quilt together.

This past week I did finish knitting a pair of socks.

I will put this pair in my "gift" pile to have ready when needed.

A while ago I knitted a pair of socks from some yarn

that I just loved. There was a fair amount left over,

so I decided to make a pair of ankle socks for my daughter with

the tiny feet.

 

 

One is done... one is in the making.

One thing I am going to try to do this year

is make some of the kits I have stashed here and there

in my Hidey Hole.

I have a number of Bucilla Christmas kits to make and pulled one

out last night.

While watching football, I stitched this part together.

It's the base of the tree for an Advent calendar.

Happy New Year and may you create to your hearts content in 2016!!
