2010 Happy New Year!

Isn't it wonderful to be given a new start to each day and today we have a whole new year to look forward to!  It is also the last year in this decade so use it wisely!

I like to start the year by assessing where I am and make some course alterations for where I want to be.  Not resolutions mind you  because they never last long but real adjustments in the day to day.  I am not a very introspective person; I prefer action to words so hopefully you will see the changes that will be evidenced throughout the year.

Bill is putting some finishing touches on the A/C ducts so we can have the system inspected on Monday and then the sheetrock crew can begin work!  I am chomping at the bit! (This is one project that 2010 will see its end!)

I dug out piles of fabric and so updated my project to-do line-up.  This was on the list for last year that never happened.  But now it is ready for the sewing machine next week!  (These are piles of suit samples I got at an auction for a men's suit factory that went out of business 8 yrs ago!)

 Some of the samples I left their full size and the rest I cut up for 6" blocks.  It is fun to play around with placement of the subtle colors, pinstripes, plaids and plain blocks. 

I took part in a new YahooGroup  Mystery KAL (Knit A Long) that started this morning.........one clue a week to complete the shawl.  You will get updates accordingly!

I am continuing work on the Triggy Shawl (that took a backseat to the Christmas sock knitting) today when Bill takes a break to catch some football scores.

Rain fell all morning, it was a beautiful soaking with a little thunder for emphasis.  It is a precious gift to get rain in the winter.  This is right out the back door; a corn bucket for the Sandhill Cranes.

Make this a happy new year for those around you.
