Busy Holiday Season & A New Year
Long time, no see...
I have no real excuse for being an absentee blogger for the past two and a half months. It's truly been a busy holiday season, with weekends full of hosting family and friends, ballet performances, and vacations. In all of the glory, I haven't had the time, nor the creative inclination to do much more than read a book during any down time I've had.
With the coming of the new year, I'm hoping to simplify, and if I'm honest, blogging won't be a priority. Sewing goals will be minimal in 2014. I would like to finish the Jane Austen Quilt that my Mother-in-Law started a few years ago. I also plan on finishing the Rev War area Jacket that I started in October. Other than that...I'm unsure...I'll let life be life this year, and roll with it.

I hope you had a merry holiday season, and I wish you a bright new year.

Happy New Year to you and yours! Christopher says, "I wish you a Happy New Year too!" Noah's not saying anything. He's eating grits and reading about Daniel and the lions.
Liked your year in pictures: California looked fantastic -- Christopher oohed when he saw the rocky beach and he wondered if Miss Autumn had wanted to go swimming. He has not met the Pacific Ocean yet :}
Letting the year go and see what happens? Now there's a happy plan!
Peace to you in 2014,
Natalie -- and the boys -- Curte just woke. Now I go and make hoppin' john, collards, and rice.
I am inspired by all of your projects as I would love to get a few going, myself. So much to learn though...
I look forward to seeing your future posts!
