It's All About the Rainbow!

My MiL got me this beautiful hand painted silk from Zebisis Designs for x-mas. I had to share because it is so colorful! The photo doesn't do it justice. The colors in this brick are so vivid! I can not wait to spin this up!

First Finished Project 2012

My first finished project of 2012 is this coil sewn basket. It is made from an old shirt that my father gave me to transform into something else. I think this is pretty good for my first coil fabric experience. Plus, I used ever bit of the shirt except a few scraps, the pocket, and the buttons. The tulips are from my hubby.

Also, eleven years together with my man. I love glass bottles and my hubby gave me this tiny bottle from Kiva Ford. :) Mini bottles are amazing!

Happy New Year!

Jazz and Abby got their fist pictures of the new year taken today. They are so cute! Jazz wouldn't get out of bed but Abby was doing some good posing.

The only real resolution I have made this year is just to have more laughter in my daily life. I have been dealing with a lot of heavy things in 2011. I know there is still lots of work but I don't see why I can't laugh more too!

I did a few things today to ring in the new year. One was to finally hang a picture on a wall! The other was to finish a craft project. I want to start the year out right by finishing a project instead of starting another one. Hope everyone else had a pleasant day.

Last Day of 2011

It has been a long year yet it seems to have flown by! It has been one hell of a year. I started pottery this year and I made well over a hundred pots! Here is a collage of just a sample of the work I did this year.

We took the dogs to the park for what ended up being a very long walk. It was about 3+ miles. It was just such a nice day we couldn't stop. The trees and fungi were just beautiful! The river was very calming too. The dogs are still exhausted and so are we.

Our holiday cards finally came in and we got them all sent out. No more left! I didn't order many cause I hate having a ton of cards left over. We celebrated New Year's Eve by watching the ball drop in NYC via the web. We also celebrated 11 years together! That is a heck of a long time to be together if you ask me. It was a great day! Lots of laughs.
