Another year has passed and I'm looking forward to this new year. Last year was a difficult year with so many things happening. I feel like I'm starting to head down the right road and hopefully this year will be wonderful.
DH and I went out for New Year's Eve. First we went to my mom's for homemade french fries and ribs. It was a great meal, even if mom decided to make her own sauce and it was a bit sweet for me. I still enjoyed it, even if she doesn't think so. Next we headed over to a friends house. We weren't planning on staying out till midnight since DH had to work the next morning. Well, that plan didn't work out and we didn't get home until 1am. Needless to say, the boy was tired yesterday. We had a very good time and it was great to toast the new year in with friends. I however did not enjoy the hangover I was left with yesterday. I really didn't drink much, but I mixed wine, champagne, and jello shots. That may have been my downfall.
On the quilting front, I finished step 5 of the RRCB mystery and have started on step 6. The part of 6 is pretty easy, but I'm not looking forward to the second part. Oh well, I've come this far, I've got to finish it. Step 7 came out Friday and we start putting the blocks together. I love the way this quilt is coming together. Step 7 actually puts the whole center together and the last step (this friday) does the borders. Its been alot of work, but well worth it. I'm hoping mine comes together as well as the one in the directions. I'm sure I'll have some trouble because I didn't take the time to square up some blocks. Oh well, I'm pretty good at fussy sewing blocks together. Here's the pic of Step 5.
Now that the holidays are over its time to buckle down at work and get things done. The past two weeks have been very slow because so many people were on leave. Reality is back and I'm not sure that I'm ready for it. No more wearing jeans to work.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful 2011.
