Happy New Year!!!!

WHAT?!?!?!   Yep, a little late to the party, that's me.  But the kids just left yesterday and our holiday season is officially over.  Back into the routine of life.  It's a good thing.

New Year's Resolution....chop up those scraps and get rid of the one's I just will not use!!  Honestly, I've been working on this for a while and I've found if you let it go a little at a time it's much easier, but it has lifted pounds off of my shoulders.  Less that I am sifting through, stepping over and storing!!  I'm also going to try to just buy what I *need* to finish things.  We'll see....on to the photo's!

In November I hosted the most fun retreat!!!  We had a blast, we had a small number which allowed everyone the opportunity to really get to know each other.  There were nighttime antics that I hope to share in the days to come.  BUT!!  Here's a table runner that we all made that I cut using my Big Shot Pro.  I supplied all of the fabric (Judi K bailed me out with the star, thanks Judi!!) and cut these up in no time at all.  LOVE the fact that I can stack and cut!  Original table runner design goes to:  Janssen Designs.

So I cleaned out my mess of a tub, pressed and stacked and in the process of cutting and sorting...here's one stack.....

Here's one of the pressing and sorting piles, what a mess.....

Here are some lovely 2" blocks that will go into a top that I've got in the works....and I really needed some more 2" squares, which is what prompted this little project...

This is what I love the most about the snow!!  I can see the traces of nighttime visitors.

Somebody (thing) was tromping through the yard last night.

LOVE the path and prints it left....

Driveway is a mess, solid sheet of ice!

That's it for now!

Thanks for checking in on me, 

hugs,

joanne
