Happy new year! (um, I can't believe it's almost the end of January.)
So much going on all the time these days. Winter weather, birthdays (my mom turned 85!), moving, quilting, stitching, baby showering, baby watching, shoveling, shoveling.
We made it though the terrible-but-not-bad-at-all-really snowstorm named Juno. All this coincided with my mother's move which was pushed up a day as we tried to get it done before the snows came. It was successful and she's in. Her new space is cozy and sunny and right in the heart of our pretty little village. I think she will be very happy there.
Maggie is ready to have her baby any day now. It's so exhilarating to imagine this little guy arriving and being in our arms within days. He will be amazed at all the adoring faces peering into his nearly every time he opens his eyes.
Other news- the Vermont retreats are sold out for the spring. Thank you!! That happened within days of posting here.
I have a new sampler in the shop tonight. Just have to get it listed. And another one in the works. When it's this cold and snowy, there isn't an excuse not to have a stitch basket within reach. Thank you for all the recent orders from my etsy shop. I love sharing these designs with you.
Wishing everyone warmth and wonder as we head into another winter month. Reminding myself that today we are one day closer to spring!
I am SOOOOOOOO happy that I am one of the lucky ones to get into the spring Vermont craft getaway. I take a deep breath, pause and enjoy the moment thinking of all the pure pleasure being there will bring me. This will be my third time attending, so I know how special these times are.

Such a lovely post. I've visited and seen it 3-4 times but keep forgetting to leave a comment. Going through difficult times with Mother again and it has been a rough and tumble week. I so love the bambino's quilt. You know I'm going to make one as soon as I can!!! Best, Julie

Can't wait to see old friends and new ones in May! Also looking forward to some baby pics and stories. As usual you inspire me and make it a little easier to turn the page each day. xx

Oh, your needlework is just beautiful! And your spring craft retreats sound wonderful. How exciting to have a new grandson coming into the world. Enjoy every moment of it.
