Yeah... I know... we are well into January of this New Year!!! How did that happen, I wonder?!
Goodbye to Last Year
I was not sad to say goodbye to 2023... although it was better than 2022...
I think really that I can sum up last year in one word - busy! I was far busier than I expected with work, and spent way too little time in the sewing room. I am hoping that this year that will change!
I also battled with health issues, which I again hope will not be as bad this year.
But last year ended with a lovely Christmas with family... I got another Christmas Lego set:
And a friend and I did "some" canning...
Doesn't it all look pretty with the Christmas tree sparkling in the background?!
Hello to A New Year!
I always get excited with a new year, don't you? So far this year I've been too exhausted to be too excited (and I got another attack of vertigo)... but I am getting there slowly!
As I am writing this post, DH and I are here:
Since I still had to work between Christmas and now, I feel like this is the "real" start to my new year - a nice relaxing long weekend away!
We have found the perfect camping spot that is only an hour away from home... It's quiet and has a beautiful view. We are both really enjoying it.
I was almost ready to bring Baby B (My Bernina 240) and some sewing, but then decided not to at the last minute. We still need to work out where things go in the van, and we don't have a spot for Baby B yet... hopefully we will get there one day and she can come too....
The best thing about camping is that DH does the cooking 🙂
Breakfast has been particularly delicious....crumpets and a cup of tea...
Susan from Granny Smith's Quilting might recognize the cutlery 🙂
Changes this Year
There will be some changes this year... with my life and the blog.... Last year I didn't spend as much time here as I would have liked to, and felt like I was constantly behind with posting, answering comments, visiting other blogs..... so this year I want that to change. I will be sharing more about my plans for the year, possible BOMs, etc in the next week or two...
I am excited for the new year 🙂 There are so many UFOs and WIPs and New Projects to start!!! And this year I am going to make more time to do them!
I hope you have had a good start to the year so far... are you feeling excited?
