Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”
— Benjamin Franklin (we know he didn't mean women too, but that's his flaw)
gee...a blank slate, new page....what are my hopes for this year?
1. continue working to stay healthy--being invaded with health issues is a nuisance
2. complete all my unfinished projects--not at all possible, but a sizable dent would be good
3. move--too long since i had living quarters that were truly home, it's way past time
4. spend time with my mom as i can--she's 95 and healthy, every moment is precious
5. make sure those i love know it--i hope they already do
6. have more fun...everyone needs more fun, right?
belated christmas lunch at the kiddos....ooh daughter excelled with a scrumptious dinner and i received some very fine gifts...one was this...
so it appears there is a new quilt on deck in 2023.....pondering which colorway will be chosen...i like many of jen kingwell's patterns and the book "quilt recipes" was outside my budget, so dear daughter gifted me these...today it's grazing day with some finger foods and sew, sneaking in some exercise too...time marches on!
".....Blessed are those who take refuge in Him." Psalm 2:12
Oooh, your Wensleydale will be a beauty. (That's my prediction for 2023.) Hope your efforts to find a new place are coming along.
ReplyDeleteWorthy goals, Grace. So fun to see you on Zoom today--love the New Year's tiara. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great list. If you can check of just one, it will be quite an accomplishment. I do wish for better living conditions for you. Yours has been a nightmare for far too long. Wishing you every happiness in this hew year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you. Oh, your daughter did well. I love that design. You have quite a list there.
ReplyDeleteI hope your wishes come to fruition. I’ve been thinking of getting those papers, as I love the versions of the quilt I have seen. Have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteThe papers are the best! Take a look on Pinterests for all the different versions of the quilt - great inspiration. Elaine in UK
