New Year! Welcome 2011

A new year begins. I don't really DO resolutions, but here they are anyway. First there are the standards: get organized, lose weight by eating healthy and exercising. Then the carryovers from last year (I poop out after awhile and don't get all my resolutions completed): learn to use the embroidery machine, and EQ5. I did take a class on sergers and learned several new things, but I didn't keep using the serger so I sorta forgot some things. But, I have a good book or two and I do use it for clothing construction. I bought 30+ yards of fabric from my favorite online store Thousands of Bolts and must SEW, SEW, SEW! Here is my fabric purchase:

Don't you just love it. New fabric! I love fabric. Will happily put it on my shelf where I can see it so that I can use it. I love looking at all the pieces of fabric...the colors, patterns, prints. Oh what JOY!

The guys are out shooting fireworks right now. The dog is hiding under the computer desk. I am inside where it is warm...dreaming of what I am going to so this weekend with 3 days off from work. Have a Happy and Safe New Year's Day.

I'm Back!

I hate computer problems! The internet quite working on my computer. My son works on computers and he could not fix it. We figured that part of the internal components went out again. Then all of a sudden, it started working again. HURRAY!! It is Christmas Eve. I have had a problem getting in the Christmas spirit. Today I am baking, staring at my Christmas tree and plan on listening to Christmas music. Tonight we will go to chruch for the Christmas Eve service. I love having time off from work.



Sorry, I don't know how to rotate the picture yet.

Boy was I bad yesterday. I ordered 35 yards of fabric. I had better be busy sewing next year. Don't know how to sneak this in the house. Superman is off for two weeks and would surely notice the package before me. Maybe I'll be lucky and the UPS man will give to me at the office.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And no, I didn't finish the Santa I was working on. I hope to finish over the holidays. I will post a pic when it is done.
