In the blink of an eye..

Another Christmas come and gone as quickly as I blinked it seemed. 

The question most asked of me on Facebook is did Santa bring you a kitty? Well no he did not, but under the tree instead was this beautiful 1935 Singer Featherweight. Beautifully restored, Santa said it would purr when fed lots of pretty fabric. 

We had a very busy Christmas week and spent this past weekend in Oklahoma. We drove down with Hubbys 92 year young Dad so he could visit with his Granddaughters and 4 great grandsons! We stayed on our daughter and son in laws family scenic property in the middle of Oklahoma. We lucked out with beautiful weather and a great time was enjoyed by all. Here are the 4 Grandsons out climbing  and running off some excess energy. 

I just finished boxing up all the tree ornaments a short while ago. I always feel a little sad to see them go, but it is time to get this new year rolling.

Yesterday I finished sewing the last bits and pieces on to my latest penny mat design. Two new patterns to write for the New Year. Are you cooking a special dinner to celebrate New Years? In my family we usually have a pork and sauerkraut dinner. I am off the hook tonight however. Grandpa leaves for Florida in the morning and is taking us out for barbecue tonight, any time I get out of cooking is a good time for me!

Best wishes to you for a Happy New Year!
