Happy New Year!

The show is over for another year.  Thank you Marsha and Gail for helping me take it down.  There is not much left which translates into a very successful sale.  Thank you one and all for your donations, creativity, encouragement and laughter.

I put everything in the house on New Year's Eve, then loaded the car and headed north to Jeff's place to celebrate New Year's.  We had big plans to snowshoe... but mostly we stayed in (did you check the weather???  Brrrrrr.)  We did get out on the lake on New Year's Day and cavorted a little before the wind came up.


I turned the binding on my William Morris quilt:
 
Note how lovely it looks in this room, it is NOT staying here!  I couldn't decide what fabric to use for the binding so I did it scrappy style and love it!!  Happy New Year to me!  I have a new quilt to sleep under to bring the New Year in!  Woo Hoo!

As promised, I helped Jeff learn to knit... It was too cold to go outside, so we stoked up the fire, took up the needles and started.  He did GREAT!!




I'll be posting more about the show, but for now, I need the dust to settle and enjoy the coming of the New Year.  Thank you one and all for your support this year.  Wishing you and yours the best in 2010.
Peace.  Nettie
