Happy thoughts for a new year!

This afternoon I finally found time to sit down with a cup of chocolate mint tea and open an  envelope I received yesterday in the mail from The Wool Studio...some beautiful wool samples for rug hooking.
This usually gets me thinking about starting a new rug but I have a few projects I need to complete first.  But of course this didn't stop me from placing my order for some very nice darks that will make a gorgeous background.

I took down my Christmas rugs from the walls and hung back up my bunny rug

It's nice to catch our breath after the Christmas crazies and begin looking ahead to some new projects...I think part of the fun is in the planning.   I think that's part of the pleasure looking at others blogs.  So much creativity and talent!

One of my favorite rug pattern sites is Spruce Ridge Studios....I have already one in mind for this year.

Over Christmas I was excited to sell another one of my dolls...the Christmas snowgirl....and so now I'm looking forward to maybe a Valentine girl and a springtime girl...I'll post my work in progress pictures here.

My hands ache from carpal tunnel syndrome and you'd think this would slow me down a little from being on my computer but it hasn't.  I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas so now I can play games and check my emails, read blogs and surf the net just about anywhere...when I think about having carpal tunnel surgery the first thought I have is "how will I check my emails?"

I don't do New Years resolutions but here's a few things I'd like to accomplish.....do more Pilates...go for a walk everyday or hop on the treadmill.... ...thank the Lord for ever day He gives me and my family...be slow to criticize and quicker to compliment and enjoy life each day~


Shopping expedition with the Christmas birthday grandkids...and one belated!  The kids get to pick out what they want for their birthdays then we go eat....lots of fun and great memories~
