How are you doing? So many of us aren't excitedly celebrating the holidays but just "getting through" it. Hope you are doing okay.
We had an ice storm on Friday night. People in the neighborhood are already grumbling. We had a lot of ice last year and I wore out a pair of Yaxtrax last year. Yaxtrax are chains you add to your shoes that act like cleats and...most importantly, work. Lucky won't go to the bathroom in our yard. He'll only go if he walks so Yaxtrax are indispensible.
This is the time of year I like because so many people are sharing what quilts they made this past year. I might do that tomorrow. I am sure I didn't take photos of everything.
I'm excited to start the new year and new projects. I've been doing some clean up and finding projects that I would like to finish before 2026. I'm binding a Christmas quilt that I'm pretty sure has been sitting here for at least 11 months. 😮
Are you working on cleaning as well? Are you going to have any resolutions for the New Year? I'm not, just more having fun with my sewing.
Have a safe and happy day!
i have a pair of icees....grippers that stretch over the shoes...they work! i had a list of things to do during gap week, some cleaning...like to start new year off clean slate everywhere..LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to viewing your quilt review! It is an enjoyable time of the year to see finishes or progress. I don't make resolutions but do make a list of quilts I hope to make each year. Last year I stuck to my list and accomplished a lot but I experienced burnout. This year is going to be more relaxed and fun, at least I hope it is. Be safe on the ice, blessings and happy stitching in 2026!
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, I'm not doing well right at the moment. I caught a cold and I've been sniffling and sneezing all weekend. No fever, thought. It rained all day yesterday. The cold front barreled in overnight at it is sunny but cccccoooolllld today. I am staying inside with a box of Kleenex at the ready. The installer is putting the new dishwasher in right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm busily trying to finish a quilt before the new year begins. I'm down to a short side and half of a long side with the binding. I think a finish will happen. At the beginning of this year I was in a slump and couldn't figure out what to work on. I had to make myself find things to do. It was so unlike me. But now, I've already made a list of 12 quilts I want to make for this year. It won't happen but it's fun to dream.
