New Year's Resolution

So, Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year! Ever wonder about New Year Resolutions? You make them and break them, but traditions says you make them. As I look back over the last year and see all that has transpired, I think my resolutions will be:

1. LOSE THE WEIGHT - Turning 40 this year and know I am entering all those higher risk parts of my life.

2. KEEP TAKING TIME FOR ME- Teaching is stressful and I need to take time to de-stress so the I can be a better person.

3. PAY ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE THINGS - The little things are what makes the big things possible.

4. BETTER ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH - I started back to church this year in March. I have probably missed 12-16 Sundays since going back.

5. PERSONAL AND PRIVATE - These are goals I have for me and, no offense, am keeping to my self. These are those little things that I need to work on on a personal level.

I hope that isn't too many goals for the year, but I think they are all possible.

I will update the February post later. I TOTALLY enjoyed my weekend in California with my mom. I got her into scrap booking!!! It is contagious!

Happy New Year to all!

It's February!

Happy February!

It has been a while - I told you I wasn't good at this. I have been keeping busy finishing up some of the UFO (Unfinished Fabric Objects). I completed the baby quilt I started for my niece when she born - she is 5 now, but I guess better late than never! I also finished the Moda U quilt I started in '07. It was a Block of the Month project that I just didn't get finished. I now have the top complete. I will have to post pictures later. Right now I am working on a recipe swap in scrapbooking. I have to get those out this week so they aren't late. I have a quilt planned to do next and need to have it to the quilter's by April so I can give it to the recipient in May.

I am posting a picture of a quilt I did for a brown bag challenge. My best friend and I managed to get each other's bags. This is the wall hanging I did for her. She had admired the pattern at the quilt shop were our group meets. I bought it and made it for her.

I am looking forward to March and May. My sister-in-law and niece are coming to the house for a scrappin' weekend. Neither one of the m scrap so I am looking forward to sharing my love for that with them. I am also going to spend a few days with my mom at a Mom & Daughter type retreat. I will have to tell more when I get the details.

I am hoping to start putting more pictures and gsd files (gsd files are used by the Wishblade to cut paper - think printer that cuts rather than prints) soon. I just never seem to have the time.

Later!
