Sewing Is So Fun!

We made it home from Arizona late New Year's Eve.  We called and ordered a pizza on the way home and picked it up on the way to the house.  We arrived home, unpacked the car, and finally sat down for dinner about 10:30.  This year it was easy to stay up to see the new year!  I was wound up from all the sitting.  This will be a great year!  I just know our (my) health issues are behind us.  We are strong in our faith in God and our love for each other.  We both love what we do and we have family, friends, and hobbies to keep us busy.

Speaking of hobbies I spent my day doing to hobbies I really like, sewing and reading.  I finished the eighth book in the eight book series that I was reading.  It was hard for it to come to an end.  I was really involved with this family.  I also did some sewing.  I found some pieces I had cut out (so long ago I don't actually remember when) for a quilt I had planned to make.  I started putting them together and got eighteen of the thirty squares put together.  I also have big hopes to get the sewing room organized this year.  I started by cleaning off the cutting table, then I started on the sewing counter on the south wall and moved around to the sewing counter on the west wall.  When I got done the sewing counter looked pretty good, but the cutting table now needs to be cleaned again!  The tree and stars quilt top, a wall hanging, and a baby quilt are three projects that I rediscovered that I would like to finish.  I have about three other projects that come to mind that I need to finish also.  I had a good day in the sewing room and reading today.

Tomorrow I get to go back to school.  We will have a professional day.  I will miss a little bit in the morning while I go get a mammogram.  The kids start back on Wednesday.  I can't wait!  I love this nine weeks.  There aren't many days off and we do a lot of learning after we settle down.  I will have to get the report cards done next week.  I think all my screening is done.

I am watching the OSU game and they just recovered the fumble in the third quarter.  They are down by one touchdown.  I think that will change soon.
