I am Back!!!

It has been a while since I could really sit down at the computer and have time to blog. I hope you all had a great Christmas! Ours was wonderful. Busy, quick, but very nice. I got to spend some time with my sisters (who are amazing, I think I have the best sisters in the world!) and my niece and nephew. It is always a joy to be around little ones during this season. Abby the youngest is about to turn 2 is into everything. She tried to pick up a dog's toy from their "toy box" with her mouth! She is too cute. And Manny was all over Pops and his airplane book.

But getting on to one of the most amazing parts of my Christmas.... Remember I said I had two amazing sisters. Well, they are so amazing and thoughtful, they gave me one of these for my gift!

I was so surprised and thankful! And excited! And speechless! They way over did themselves with this one!

The other amazing part of my Christmas was going skiing with my hubs out west. We had a blast skiing 4 days and resting in between. We definitely didn't need a vacation from our vacation when we got home. When we did get home we hit the ground running and haven't slowed down much.

I started watching a friend's two children 3 1/2 days a week. It is very enjoyable, but needless to say I haven't had much "craft/sewing time." Once I get use to the working schedule I hope to reserve Fridays for such a thing.

I have been able to play with my Silhouette and experiment with it a bit. I am trying to cut fabric with it, but haven't been 100% successful. Any tips or suggestions will be very much appreciated! I have many projects floating around in my head and hope to post on them soon. I have some vinyl and Silhouette pins on the way! I can't wait to start using them!

Even though it is a little late, Happy New Year and God Bless!
