Finishing Up

As with most people, I was excited for the holidays to come and excited to see them go. I love the extra time with family and appreciate them so much. But it also makes me appreciate the everyday. So 2011 I am ready for you!I have one resolution (that's new anyways) and that is to get on top of my calendar. So far I'm taking baby steps, but that means it's better than it was. I just always feel helter-skelter, and I want to change that.

I have been finishing projects including three lap quilts! Two are yellow brick roads (they only differ in quilting pattern and binding so I've just included one pic) that I made for my boys to enjoy this winter and they were fun to make and my first foray into quilting something bigger than a bag. They aren't perfect, but the boys love them and I learned much from

doing them! I also finished a quilt that I had been making for my Grandpa Wes, it features RV/Camping fabric and he is very happy to have a leg quilt to go in the RV with him!

I have two other large quilt projects ready to start and can't wait!! Before I can get to those I just have another small wave tote to finish. (Please excuse the poor night/flash photography - it totally skewed the colors) It's for my MIL, she used to live in Alaska and loved it here, so I thought she would enjoy these fabrics......

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Here's just a small sampling from ours :)

Movitation Monday

So I was so inspired by another friend and blogger this morning, and I have been thinking about her goals all morning and decided to make some of my own.

• Blog at least 5 times a week, with pictures twice a week
• Dye 2 days a week
• Spin at least 2 50g skeins a week
• Develop and finalize my marketing plan for 2009
• Knit 1 pair of socks a month for myself
• Knit 2 pairs of socks for hubby (per his request)
  
• Knit all of my Christmas Gifts for next year before November (lofty goal I know!)
• Lose six pounds by the end of January

January is a time of new beginnings and I am definitely looking forward to improving myself this year!

I do have a plan in the works for some give-aways of my fibers so stay tuned!

Energy

I am so excited and filled with new energy with the change of my business's name. I feel that it gives me the chance to have a more focused and creative outlet. It has become much easier to have the ideas that I felt that I was lacking.

Come on New Year! I can't wait for you to be here!


.....ok so I totally don't want to miss Christmas though! I have lots of family here this year and that would just be a bummer to miss that! Oh and my two year old totally "gets" presents this year too. I can't wait to watch him either!

AND! I dyed 15 skeins last night. On a day that John was working! Yay for babies going to sleep when they should!
