1.7.13

Morning everyone!  It has been a busy month or so. Christmas and NewYear went smoothly this year. I don't think we have had such a relaxing holiday season for years.
We now have the house straightened back out and all cleaned up for the time being.

We lost a member of our furry family before Christmas. Moms Missy went to heaven to be with her we hated to take her to the vet but she really couldn't manage anymore and she was  really upset .

My Smudge has started to sit with me again and even Mocha has begun to find laps to sit in. That just leaves us one of moms cats , Salvador he is a good age now as well but still doing good!

We traded in  our equinox  for a brand new gmc sierra extended cab truck.

 It is really nice. I haven't been able to it yet but I have gone for a run in it with Hubby.  My right leg still in alot of pain need to go to orthopedic people and have it tended but I keep putting it off I don't want to put the extra bills on us. But I think I will have to cave before too much longer.
Hubby and I sat down at the New Year and made our new 10 year plan out we have been doing this for a while but it has been 2-5 year plans this time we decided on a 10 yr one!!  and a 1 year one.  we hope to get the house fixed up this year and the fence work finally done then we can get the new driveway put in and a double car garage in the back  finally to clean up the front yard area.  We will have to do the fence first to stop the stray animals getting in and under the trailer we have atom cat living under the house off and on now trying to keep warm. We went out and put a pet carrier with blankets in it for him to sleep in this week and that seems to have worked for now. I feel bad for them but I can't take care of anymore animals.

Well lets see what else is  going on this year so far.  Oh we got word quite a few family and friends are expecting bundles of joy this coming year I believe the count now is 5. It seems so strange to see kids that you watched grow having there own children now I know I Know I'm getting Old!!!

I finished  my Crinoline picture and Hubby helped  frame it. We delivered it to my friend on christmas eve. It was so nice to see her face when she finally got it.  You always worry in case they don't like something when you make for someone but she really seemed to love it.

I have been trying to catch up with my 2012 boms but I seem to have fallen helplessly behind!  I have tried to limit my 2013  new starts but I don't know how well that will go!!  I did a block from farmers wife from the scrappy appleyard  blog it was an easy one!!

  I have also started on a block bom  from a crafts delight stitching group. hopefully I will get it done today!!
















I also signed up for a ufo challenge on this same site so we will see if I can  get some things caught up this year.

Well I need to get off this computer. To all who are reading this I wish you all a very prosperous and Healthy  2013.
