Happy new year everybody, I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and a good start to 2009, mine has been busy not with sewing unfortunately,
my sister and I threw a surprise birthday party for our mum yesterday at our place she turned 71 and she loved it... just with close family and friends....
and you know the way it goes left on boxing day for six days away on our boat.. very nice and relaxing... came home new years day to go to a wedding in melb on the 2nd... thanks SIL....
then had the week to put away Christmas deckies and to clean house and yard and prepare food for the party yesterday, so today I'm just pottering around in my lovely clean house and garden feeling a bit ga-ga, too wrung out to sew maybe tomorrow I will stitch something...
This year I have decided to make this a finishing year by writing a fresh to do list for my sewing so I can stay on track and finish a few things! No 1 on the list is my angel story quilt....
Also we have changed from adsl to wireless which I am excited about... now I can blog anywhere, inside or outside should be much more convenient, I won't be stuck in the study all the time...
Anyway I better go and start writing this list and I have a lot of blogs to catch up with as well , happy stitching everyone, Sheryl

I have decided that this will be a finishing year for me too. There are far too many quilt tops and assorted projects languishing in boxes.
With a wireless connection you will be able to seek out the coolest posi in the house while we "enjoy" some real Summer weather.

Can't believe how much that sounds like how I was feeling...house was clean....plenty of food in the house....and "wrung out" describes how I felt perfectly!! Had been searching for a word or phrase to capture that feeling and you have done it!! Feeling much better now and have started to get into a bit of stitching..and guess what....I am back to work tomorrow! Oh well....there will be more holidays in the future one hopes!! I was going to make my "to do this year" list today but ran out of time - it is in my head and it will have to stay there for the time being! Hope you have a wonderful and creative new year!
