First Things First

 

First let me say Happy New Year. We made it through 2024 and with a little luck we'll be able to say the same about 2025 in what will seem like a very few minutes from now. Time does fly. 

When I was a teacher it was a non-negotionable that all holiday decor had to be removed before you could leave for winter break. That's still ingrained in me and yesterday everything Christmas had to go. I was turning the house winter blue when I realized I didn't have enough of those mug rug thingys that I use on the quartz counters under glassware. All my big new year plans are now on hold until I get them finished. I had plenty of blue winter scraps in the bins from that blue snowflake quilt I made a few years ago so putting them together has been pretty easy. 

And....look what got delivered yesterday. I bought myself a fashion design kit for dolls.

Movie Barbie needs an over the top gown and I haven't been able to buy her one so I am going to try and make her one. The kit comes with a large collection of fabulously fancy fabric and all the trimmings so it's going to be fun-as soon as I get those blue things finished first.
