Time is speeding up and flying by at an alarming rate!
It is
hard to believe this is the last day of 2014.
This has been a year filled with
lots of hard work and a few worries,
but overall it has been a very good year.
The studio has stayed busy with lots of visitors and good sales.
I’ve been
thinking a lot about where to go from here.
Whether to keep making what sells
or
take a chance on making what my instincts are telling me to do.
It will
probably be a combination of both in the coming year.
I feel so very
grateful to be able to just keep making things!
There are no New Year’s Resolutions
just changes that Pog
and I are committed to such as
healthy eating and continued walking.
healthy eating and continued walking.
Both of which makes us feel better and continues to let us
keep active.
The Christmas decorations are still up and will stay up
until this weekend.
This is the week I enjoy so much because it is a quieter
time,
and we can relax and enjoy.

This is also the week that I get to make some things just for my house and me.
That is - until I mashed my thimble finger when
the top lid of the wood stove dropped on it!
Oh my goodness did that hurt!
Thankfully it was not broken or burned - just blue and swollen, but it will heal soon.
The thimble will be back on and then I’ll be able to get back to work on projects that I need to finish and some I want to begin.

In the meantime I received a stack of new jigsaw puzzles for Christmas.
I love them and this is the only time during the year I get to work on them.
So let it rain or snow or be cold, Sadie is by the wood stove, and
I’ll be at the kitchen table working puzzles with the music turned up.

Pog is making
snack food for the weekend so we will all be cozy
and contented the first part
of this New Year.
I want to thank each of you who read and follow the blog,
and take time to make wonderful comments!
The encouragement and friendship you
offer is important to me
and I appreciate it so much!
Happy New Year!
Wishing each of you a blessed New Years!
Pog, Louise and Sadie
Ouch, dogged fingers never feel good. In some ways they are more painful than a break. But speedy healing to you and wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015 to you Louise, and Pog and Sadie.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those snacks! :)
Happy New Year!

Very pretty bottle brush tree, plus a nicely carved Santa......love the little log cabin, I can almost see smoke rising from the chimney. I took a simple slip on the stairs and jammed a couple of fingers on my right hand. Naturally, the ones that suffer with arthritis. Several joints so swollen, I can't move them. Must be going around! Enjoy your free time & I look forward to spending another year enjoying your posts!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours. I, too, work on puzzles during the winter months! It's a nice break from all my other tasks. I've enjoyed following your blog and look forward to seeing the wonderful projects you complete.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your mishap. I hope the pain subsides quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you. This is the time I finally get to enjoy the Season. My decorations will come done in due time. Thankfully they come down more quickly than they go up.
Happy New Year!!!
Hugs :)

Hello, Nice to meet you. It has been so long since I put together a puzzle, I used to love that pastime. I have puzzles I have designed and have never even pieced THOSE together! What a literal pain to mash a finger needed for working, heal soon, and in the meantime, enjoy that woodstove and your puzzles.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeri! Nice to meet you too! Hope you come back to visit!
DeleteOuch!! It's bad when a crafter hurts a digit :). Hurry up and heal and get back to that project - it looks beautiful.
