Well— back to normal life tomorrow. After weeks of traveling, I’m ready for roots and routine. I definitely know that Bilbo and Belle are ready to stay out of a car for a while. My holiday was filled with love and stitchy-ness, and I hope yours was merry and bright, too. Oh, and I’m getting married! (Onward with the search not for the “perfect dress” but for the perfect wedding sampler!)


Before I go back to work tomorrow I’m trying to get reorganized; however, I have already organized my stitchy stash and kitted up my new patterns this weekend:

And I got to play with my new toy:

I have decided to not have goals/resolutions on my hobbies this year- no stitching, crafting, or reading goals. They just stress me out and make my hobbies no fun. On a non-stitching note, my New Year’s Resolutions? To get my PCOS/insulin resistance under control. And the read the Bible cover-to-cover. It’s written out and pinned to my planner as a daily reminder.
I’m currently working on a beautiful embroidery piece, my first time embroidering, from Liberty Rose’s Calendar Girls series, “May.” I’m just about finished and can’t wait to show it off!

Happy Stitching!
