I resolve....

I don't really like making New Year's Resolutions.  I like trying to map out my journey, but I seem to like getting diverted off my course, too.  So, this year I resolve to survive H's high school graduation and cut a few apron strings.  Also, I resolve to try to enjoy the journey 2 more teenage driver's will take me on.  Happy Birthday A & B!  And Happy Birthday to my Sweetheart, too!  One of my dear neighbors in Indiana took a picture of the sunset on the day A&B were born.  Here is a picture of our yard in Utah 16 years later....

Next, for your viewing pleasure are the few project that I was able to work on this past Fall while dealing with the declining health and eventual passing of Mom. 

This was the last project that I sewed for Mom.  She was able to enjoy it for 2 weeks.
 
This nifty little satchel is actually a protable pressing surface and iron carry-all.  It should be very useful when I need  to transport my hot iron home from a sewing class.  It opens flat to be used as a pressing surface.
 
 
I helped embroider a Chicken Scratch block for my neighbor's Wedding Quilt.
 
 
P.S. I never did get around to cleaning out those closets.  I've set a new goal to get started on them by Spring.

    So great to see more of your handiwork! Yes, those 16 years seemed to have flown by. You have such great kids who show great promise. I am sure that this next year will bring many changes, but their feet have been set on the right path.
