Happy New Year!

For Christmas my thoughtful sister gave me fat quarters! They make me so happy, I can't stop staring at them, and holding them, and placing them in pretty arrangements to stare at them some more. They will make a pretty happy quilt one day. For now, my next quilting project is for Andie... she wants a black and grey quilt to take with her to Alaska this summer.. and she wants a wolf sewn on it... so I got plenty of planning and quilting to do!

Another favorite present received was some used cross country skis, I've always wanted my own pair and my dad found some great ones at sportsman warehouse that look like new. Another surprise is that my dad got my mom a pair of used skis too, so I will have a buddy to go with! My mom is SO excited, she signed up for lessons at Sundance to teach her the basics and went yesterday for the first time... she did fall, and messed up her pinky finger, but can't wait to go again. New hobbies are the best.

I have been sick ALLLLL week long... we went up to Jackson Hole for New Years Eve and when we got back I made it two days of work, and took the rest off to get better. It's bummed me out because it's the new year, and it's hard to be motivated to start anew when you are coughing nonstop and feeling achey and sore.

Next week will be my fresh start!

Hope you are healthy this winter and that trying new skills and hobbies makes it onto your list of goals! Go break a pinky finger!
