Happy New Year Everyone!
December came and went and I didn't have time to blog about it. Oh, well, it is past history now and I am all about the present time. I have been reading what y'all are doing around blogland and seems many of you have added to your lists of projects the same ones I have.
1. Free Motion Quilting - my hope is to improve what I know and learn a bunch of new techniques.
2. Little Houses Made from Scraps - I have tons of little pieces of material too good to toss and will use my new love for paper piecing to make them.
3. My Hexies - still working on them with 22 made and now I'm putting another row around them before I begin with the path.
4. Dresden Plates - never made one but hopefully that will change this year.
5. Small Quilts - my Civil War Club uses the books by Kathleen Tracy and now her challenge in her Yahoo group is to complete one small quilt from her books each month.
This is just the short list. The long one is in my head and sometimes it just pops up at the most uninvited time and that's when I get asked, "what are you thinking about?" And if I don't write it down, well, I can forget about it for days, weeks, or whenever and somethings I think about are project worthy, so I do like to record them for the future.
I need to straighen up my very messy sewing room, too. The rest of the house is clean from putting Christmas away. I've notice that when I use a room piles of stuff seem to appear. Since my sewing room is a distraction, I'm using a guest room where my old roll-top desk is to work on the computer. Suddenly, I got the urge to clean out the drawers as I blog. Stacks of school supplies, greeting cards and little stuff that gets thrown in the drawers are now all over the bed. I had better stop now and put it all way.
Oh, but the mail came and there are catalogs to go through...
Hugs, Susan

6 sweet reflections:
I'm still putting Christmas away. I gather all of the decorations into the dining room and bring out the storage boxes and fill one whenever I get a few minutes. I just don't have the time to do it all at once.
My sewing room is the guest room, so I didn't get any sewing done over the holiday, as we had family visiting. We do what we have to do. : )
Susan, I so know that feeling of distraction when sitting doing something and you start clearing out. I think we all seem to encourage each other with projects. Sometimes finding where the ideas start is hard work but every idea ends up being a good one.
You had me laughing Susan! I just know what it is like to have all these bright ideas and really should just get on with the job at hand LOL!!! Well at least we might keep 'old timers' at bay with all this brain work huh!!! I hope you have a very productive year!!!
Sounds like you have some good projects to get to...I'm trying to start the year by finishing up old ones! :) I want to start something new but I just don't know what yet...there are some fabrics in the closet that I want to use but in what?
Looks like you have your dance card filled for the year. My plan is just to keep going. Without much of a plan at all. LOL See, if I don't have my expectations too high I can't go too wrong.
Haha -- I think you're living my life! Just the other day, something from "the list" popped into my mind and I was thinking "I really should make an official list" 'cause these things keep popping in and out at really random times! I'm REALLY debating about those little houses -- I just love them. If only I didn't have so darn many UFOs!
