Happy New Year

It's a new year and I'm going to do my best to post more regularly. We have a busy year ahead - a daughter's marriage and the birth of two new grandchildren. So exciting!

I've spent today picking up and sorting. I worked hard before Christmas getting a couple bedrooms ready for family. It felt good to organize and get rid of some clutter. I hope to continue weeding out - a little bit every day.

The only resolution I'm making is to be kinder and remember the needs of others.

Family

Our son and daughter in law will be here soon. I'm VERY excited as we have not seen them in several weeks. They are expecting. We'll have our fifth grandchild in February. We're so blessed.........

Tacos and Chocolate Cake

We had family for dinner tonight. Tacos and chocolate cake were enjoyed with two of our daughters and three of our grandchildren. Lucky us.....

The time change has thrown me off. I'd like to tackle a few projects, but the wind has left my sale.

Sun Flowers and Pumpkins - Fall Garden 2010

We'll be picking our pumpkins soon.......and the birds will be finding the sunflowers. Fall colors are wonderful!

Clutter Diet - Get the Crap Out of My House Challenge

V and Co. is hosting this challenge.....

Okay....... I've started. I'm organizing my fabrics and I'm cleaning out old quilting magazines. I'm getting rid of quilting magazines for several years back. They're in great shape with wonderful patterns and inspiration, but I just know I don't have enough lifetime left to complete all of projects ......so sad. I feel good about the slow progress I'm making and I will post a few photos soon. It's sad, but every room needs to be tackled and clutter reduced/eliminated. Say a prayer for me to be able to handle it all. It's hard to part with "stuff".......

I Want to Sew

I really want to do some sewing. I did work on favors for our quilt show next spring and also put together a few of the album blocks for our service project...... but darn it I see so many beautiful projects in the blog world. The fabrics are "happy" with beautiful colors. I keep adding addresses to my blog listing. So much talent out there.

Too much on the calendar right now to sew.

We're going to an Alan Jackson concert tomorrow. Our nephew is having a party on Saturday. Sunday is going to be busy also.

Maybe I'll sew next week......
