Happy New Year

Good Afternoon Everyone!

"Bless your heart, it's New Years Day,
May its gladness with you stay."

An adaptation of a verse from an
olde postcard.

I sincerely hope all of you had a wonderful
New Years Eve.  Ours was very low key but
exactly what we needed since some of us
are still suffering from whatever this
respiratory thing is. 
Avery started the New Year off right by 
sleeping through the night.  This may not 
sound very exciting, but it is just one of the
few times it has happened.  So hoping for many
more nights like it in the New Year. 

I hope my energy level picks up soon, as I need
to get inspired about Homespun Elegance.  I've
always had a hard time getting back to the
grind stone after such a long break.

Since I really do not have any stitching pictures
to share, I thought you might like to see some
of my needlework tools and vintage treasures
in my collection.  I love all of this stuff.
Just don't look too close, or you will see
all of the "vintage" dust that goes with it.


I will share some more another day.
This is another one of my collections.  There are
many more.  Just cannot help myself.

Wishing all of you a 
"Many Happy Stitches" day.
Sandra

  7. You, my friend, have one amazing collection of sewing goodes...WOW!!! They're hard to find in these parts, and when I do see them, I have to talk myself out of taking a second mortgage on our house. And the sheep - oh the glorious sheep. I can't resist those either....I have a small collection of Putz and everyone who sees them (other than my understanding and like-minded blog buddies) wonder why I want more because "they all look alike." Silly, silly, them.....Hope you're enjoying your weekend....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
