Happy New Year!!!

Boy am I behind on this blog! I wasn't able to do it in Virginia this summer and since I was there 4 months, I really got behind on everything. My internet is so limited there and I only do the necessary things...like play games. Well, that isn't all, I don't even get them done without help.

So, I am going to try to catch up with some pictures and statistics and start a new list of goals for this year. Even if don't get all of them done, I find I do better with a list than without one :>)

To tell the truth, I got a LOT of knitting done. I look back and can see that I more than met my goals and while I didn't get all the things on my list done, I did a lot of things, mostly charity, that were not on the list. I turned in 40+ items to my sister's knitting guild and emptied 2 1/2 storage bins of stash. If I have another year like the last, I will have made significant progress on making my sewing room more livable.

I should say that it is still a big task. I moved from a great big house to an nice converted garage and I have less than 1/5 of the space I started with and very little attic space. Of course, my daughter and family live in the original house that is only about 10 feet away, so I still have some things in the old attic, but my goal this year is to get all the yarn down and at least go through it and plan projects.

This is complicated by the fact that I am a quilter and my sewing room is full of fabric stash also, but that is also getting whittled away.
