Well, the new year has begun and we are into our first full week. If y’all had a holiday like I did, you ate too much, played too much, and had a tough time getting up early for work today!

I haven’t had much time in the past few days to work 0n any of my projects, but I plan on getting the binding done for Alaina/Zoey’s quilt and I have a bag I’d like to make. Unfortunately I don’t have any interfacing. Does anyone have any suggestions on a replacement for interfacing? I think batting would be too soft…any suggestions would be welcomed!

I have a couple of resolutions for this year, if you want to call them resolutions. First I want to complete at least 5 quilts this year. 5 may not be that many for some, but I only have a couple of hours in the evening during the week available for dinner, exercise, and relaxation and the weekends. So, it’s tough for me to work it all in! My second resolution is to be a happier person. It never hurts to be happier!

That being said, when I came into the house today I was NOT a very happy person. Sitting on the rug right in front of the door was my new (a few months old) camera with some fresh teeth marks.

Needless to say I was ready to beat my lovely pooch. Thankfully my hubby took her outside to the pen before I could get my hands on her!

We already have one dog we put in a crate while we’re at work because she would chew on anything and everything available. After she chewed up a couple of my quilting books and a box of pins (eek) she was introduced to her new room (aka crate).

Don’t let the sweet face fool you, she’s plotting world domination. The wheels are turnin’…

Happy New Year everyone! May it be full of blessings!
