Happy New Year 2009


Did you all stay up to usher in the New Year? Not me, lol, don't usually. It always comes whether I'm up or not, so I just let it do it's thing. I'm not making any resolutions either, don't seem to be able to hold up to them. Someone else said they made promises instead, I like that idea so I think I might try that. I'll start with, I promise to be a better blogger.

With that being said, I've been trying to give my blog a facelift. The pic at the top as my header is of a few of my favorite things. An old trunk my Aunt had given me years ago and I had refurbished. Quilts I have made, baskets I have made, rugs I have made and a couple of pillows I stitched. But the pic doesn't fit the space, arrggghhh! Ok, so I still have to learn how to do this right, lol. Give me credit for trying.

I've been going through my stash and found a couple of stitcheries I want to do for Valentines day. A purse I've been putting off making, cause I thought it was too complicated, and I found the fabric I need to complete my rug. I'm posting a pic of the last rug I'm working on, just a couple of rows and it's done.

So nothing much here today. Doing my domestic chores in preperation of the Express pulling out in the morning. We'll be headed in a southwesterly direction.

Enjoy your day. It's a beautiful sunny, but cold start to the New Year here.

Until we meet again.......Blessings

Hi Bren...happy New Year.
I just love all the wonderful handmade items in your header picture. These kinds of things mean so much more than purchased things.
I get the same thing when I put in a picture...I think if we take borders off of our template then it might work.
I think I will try it cuz all my pictures try and fit into the bordered area.
