Just a note

Thought I would pop in and say hello

 

 

The girlfriends and I didn't get together until after Christmas so I thought I would show you all my goodies. 

 

 

Love these socks! They are so soft. We pick up little things like this through the year to add to our bag 'o goodies.

 

Sarah did good! She gave both of us a flimsy! Pretty, ain't it? The same colors that are in my sewing room. I've got it on my breakfast table, I've got a few more pins to get in before I decide if I am going to hand quilt or machine quilt.

I'm still pondering the whole blogging thing but I did have to go in and turn that awful word thingie back on - I'm sorry if you don't like them. I hate them too, but I was getting too much spam. 

 

See ya soon! 

Happy New Year

It seems like the new blogger and I aren't going to get along very well. :(

I tried to upload pictures first and couldn't figure it out, then I wrote a post and hit preview but couldn't get back to the dashboard to publish it and now it seems to be lost in space somewhere - I'm afraid to preview this one so I'm going to post and hope for the best.

Anyway - I really just wanted to stop by and say Happy New Year before it seems like it is too late to say it and to thank Donna in WV for the ornamaents (assuming the photos actually publish). I'm still working my way through some personal issues and I haven't decided if I want to get back to blogging. First I have to see if I can figure this new blogger format stuff out. If you have any tips, please send them my way!

Remember - no preview so ignore any typos!

Oh - and  Happy New Year

Merrry Christmas

Well Done!

Just had to pop in and say congrats to my sister. She is offically out of nursing school! Pinning on Friday night and graduation on Saturday morning. WTG Missy, proud of you!

A sweet treat!

Okay - I haven't touched this blog in 4 months and it has taken me two days to figure out how to even get into it to make a post - this one will be short and sweet. I'm really not ready to start posting again but I wanted to say thank you to Terry (no blog) for sending me this cute little ornament for my 'sweet tree'.  I'll try to spend some time figuring out this new format while I figure out when/if I want to try to come back on a regular basis. I know I won't make the decision before the new year, but I might make a post or two (assuming I actually get this one to post!) I have missed blogging and have tried to read a few here and there when time allows.

Thanks so much to those of you who have emailed to check on me. I'm still dealing with some issues but things are getting better.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving - I hope to pop back in and wish you a Merry Christmas, but just in case it doesn't happen that way I'll say it now.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Thanks, and thanks.

First, I have to thank two very sweet readers who sent me gifts for my birthday.



Donna sent me a cute little mushroom to add to my collection. The one in the front - isn't he just too cute.

Terry sent me this beautiful bunny thread winder! Another collection I have. I love it!

Many thanks to both of you sweet ladies. And thank you to everyone who sent an email or posted a comment. I'm sorry about the word verification thing - I thought I had it turned off and now I can't figure out how to do it again. :(

Now for the 'and thanks' part. I want to thank all of you who have been loyal readers, whether you comment or not. I've enjoyed this blog over the past five years and I'm going to take some time to go back and read from the beginning soon, but for now I am going to have to back away from blogging for a bit. Both from posting and reading, or at least doing it on a regular basis. I'm not closing my blog and I may throw up a post now and then if I finish a project to share but I won't be posting on any kind of regular basis. (not that I have been lately anyway) This is a hard decision for me, but I feel it is best at the moment. I may stop by and visit a blog now and then if I have time but as for letting my reader accumulate 1000+ unread posts, that is not going to happen. I'm going to mark all read today and after today, if I have time to read a few posts I will, if not, I'll mark them all read and move on to the next day. I will miss each and every one of them but this is just what I have to do for now.

I welcome anyone who wants to stay in touch during my hiatus to send me an email. (can be found in my profile)

Hugs,

Tina

And the winner is. . .
