First time ever...My New Year's Resolution!

Wishing you all a very safe and Happy New Year!!!


This year, for the first time, I've decided to make a New Year's resolution.

Mainly...to get some of my time back. You know how you are always doing for everyone else and never have enough time to do something for yourself (in other words...not knowing how to say NO). This year will be a little different.

I took off 30 rug hooking patterns from my catalog/website. I'll draw less patterns, one way to make more time for myself. They are so time consuming as they are all hand drawn.
I'll spend more time designing and making wool applique patterns.
More time in my flower garden (what garden) it has become pure weeds and small trees.
More time to sit and crochet or stitch, start new ideas and fun new projects.
More time to get together for lunch with old friends.

And more time to blog!

I miss all the friends I have made in the blogging world and I have met some pretty nice gals over the years. I feel badly for ignoring everyone so much this past year (or maybe it's been 2 years!)

So hopefully soon I'll have some fun stuff and projects to blog about and I'll get back to visiting your blogs!

Oh yes, my favorite flea market is this Sunday...do I need more stuff? Absolutely not but there's always room for a few little treasures for decorating. (Plus it's so much fun to look!)
Maybe I'll find something super cool and a super deal to share.

What's your New Year's resolution?

Wishing you all a very Cheery Christmas!

Sorry I've been away for so long.
It's been so busy and so much to  do. I had something cool to post but never finished it so it will have to wait until after Christmas.
We've both been down with a terrible cold which hasn't helped at all.

I'm sending you all this sweet little vintage Christmas postcard...


I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and stay healthy!

See you soon!
