Resolution Number One

A wee bit late, but heartfelt just the same, Happy New Year! Yikes I have been busy working on  my New Year Resolutions, yes, actually!  I am a terrible procrastinator, something I really dislike about myself so I thought I'd really try and do something about that this year. For th past several years both my daughter and I would put stuff in the dining room to sell on eBay "soon".  That pile grew and grew until it just got out of hand.

It wasn't quite so bad as this, but it was pretty bad, so that is where I have been: listing stuff on eBay, Craigslist, selling textbooks to Amazon, and driving to Goodwill and 13 days into the new year the Christmas tree is still up and the worst part is I have done zero sewing!
I found a large stack of quilting books under all my mess and thought I'd list them here cheap for anyone interested.  First person to leave a comment/pay for the book will be the new owner.

~January Schnibble~

Hello, everyone!  Finally got back into the sewing room after a month's hiatus!  My daughter had a month long Christmas break and I did not want to miss spending time with her so I ended up not sewing a stitch.  I just finished up my Schnibbles quilt top for January, Madeline.  Kind of reminds me of Peach Sorbet, but then again I have food on the brain these days as I am trying to lose about five pounds put on this summer in Russia.

All the fabric is from my stash, a goal I hope to stick to this year.  I just love that peachy-pink and how it turned out.

Here's another look during a brief interlude of sun, we've had such lousy weather this winter.

My favorite block with that luscious paisley that can't decide if it's a peach or a yellow.   I think this was my favorite Schnibbles pattern so far although I could have done without all the errata.

Another look, remember you can click the pics to enlarge them.  I am loving the new Blogger editor, I cannot remember who told me about it, but thank you again!

Thought I'd share a picture of my amaryllis, I picked up the bulb at Target right before Thanksgiving and it finally bloomed, two stalks each with four flowers. 
I'm a little late but I'll sign off with good wishes for the New Year and a favorite Swedish proverb :::
~ Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours. ~
Thanks for stopping by...
