NEW YEAR!

Well it is two more days until January 1, 2011. I am so thankful for many things and because I often view life in a negative aspect I have to try to change my attitude. Things I am thankful for:

1.) The ability to praise and worship the Lord without fear of reprisal.

2.) My family(husband, children, parents (mom and dad), in laws-(mom and dad), extended in-laws(husbands sisters, brothers and their spouses and children).

3.) My health(I still have a few minor aliments)-but I am alive and capable of walking and talking without assistance. For this I am truly grateful.

4.) The health of all f my family to include in-laws.

5.) My new job and co-workers. I am so happy that I am able to go to work daily.

There are always areas in life that give you trials and tribulations, but this just keeps you breathing and living. I pray for some of these areas to ease a bit so that I can stay focused and happy.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful New Years and I will try to post more often this year to include more sewing projects.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year's Day !!!

Resolutions that I have made for sewing the Year- 2009 are:

1. To become a better blogger.

2. To actually create, make and post items that I have made

with my sewing machine and stop dreaming about the clothing

I did not make

3. To stop lurking around the great sewers posts because

I am intimidated by their sewing abilities and their talent for sewing.

4. To befriend more sewing buddies to keep up my momentum for

sewing.

5. To sew down a fabric stash that is continually growing.

Last year I made an apron and one other item. I brought about 20 yards of fabric. This is going to change. I will use all of the fabric I have brought that I like in the next three months. I have become a lurker in the world of sewing and I want to become a full participant. I would like to meet some new friends and share some ideas about this hobby of mine. I have been so stressed about other issues (work namely) that I have allowed this to interfere with my personal life. This year is about change and I aim to do just that. My happiness is important and I see that sewing brings me happiness as I sit for hours reading your blogs from start to finish. I like that way you all support each other and I would like to be a part of this wonderful community. I will post pictures of my items when they are sewn as the rest of you do. I have to sew something first.

Have a great New Years Day!!!!
