This is my list from 2011....I'm optimistic that I'll do much better this year.  Head on over to Judy's to see who's playing.

a few unfinished dresden plates, some black sulky 12 wt thread and several decorative stitches........

I made myself a new purse.....my old one was starting to get ragged. I loved the size of the old one, so I fashioned the new one after it. I'm pretty happy with the results.

 The bag below was painted by 

 Terri Stegmiller.....I love it and I'm going to use it for my knitting bag. It makes me smile. She has lots of great art for sale. My bag is very well made and her service is very prompt. Go check it out!

I'm leaving in the morning with my good friend, Cindy......we are heading to PA for a retreat with Jamie Wallen and DeLoa Jones. I'm hoping to soak up lots of good quilty knowledge from Jamie.

I'm taking a watercolor class from Sue Bleiweiss and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't played with watercolors since I was in grade school.

Our mini-vacation up north was so much more than we had hoped for. The weather was perfect....we sat out on the deck, listening to music and reading. We had some visitors out on the water....couldn't have asked for anything more.

This will be our view for the next couple of days.

Not much quilting going on but I'm making good progress on the sweater. The color is not showing up right....it's a nice deep rich red. I'm learning a lot with this project and am enjoying knitting it.
