Happy New Year my friends....I know, a bit late. Do you make new year resolutions? I prefer a list of suggestions. The definition of resolution: a firm decision to do or not do something. The definition of suggestion: An idea or plan put forward for consideration. My list is usually 10 suggestions. Are all my suggestions followed...of course not. Anyway, just my thing.
Look at this 5 inch rose! It opened on New Years day.....good omen. Still have some roses blooming but now we are starting a cold spell so maybe time for them to sleep until Spring.I must say that I had a wonderful Christmas. Relaxing and fun. Santa really read my list! An update on me. It seems that my asthma has returned. For the 18 years living here in Arizona, I lost it. Back in Rhode Island I was coping with inhaler and breathing treatments. Now I am back on an inhaler and a med to help...so far all is good. Thank you for your good wishes.
I have not worn a watch I retired....since 2015. Sis Lyn sent me this watch which works with my Samsung phone. Very like an Apple watch. Still getting used to wearing it, but I love it. I love that I can easily change the photo.
As many of you know, I have not been tatting or doing cross stitch for some time. First I needed a change and secondly, hand/finger issues get in the way. But I keep busy with hand sewing and knitting and my miniature dolls rooms. Next I am working on a Fairy village. I will be doing some Sashiko stitching also. My tree has been growing....still a work in progress. Remember my Tiny Dog from
this post, well, now there are 10 Tiny Dogs
They will be available for adoption soon! So, if interested, stay tuned for info. For now their faces are hidden!
This is Sam... a little 5 inch frog who is can sit or stand on his own. Soon he will have coveralls and maybe a sweater....I think maybe a little lady will join him. The directions were not hard to follow..there were a few lines that were not as clearly written and the video to assist the knitting, well it did not match the written directions. I have been knitting since a young girl and also taught knitting for a local knit shop, so I am able to get through the hiccups. Challenges are always good. Glad you stopped by today. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.

Happy New Year, Gracie! I hope you are doing well despite the asthma. Your rose is absolutely beautiful. I like seeing all of your little crafting items. Can't wait to see the frog's mate. Stay well. Cynthia

Hi Gracie,

That rose is beautiful and big.
Happy New Year, Gracie! No resolutions for me but I want to cut down on buying cross stitch stuff, charts mostly. I have enough. Sorry the asthma is revisiting you. Maybe it's the cold weather. I know it's been cold there by AZ standards. Love the Tiny doggies😊 Take care!
I like your idea of new years suggestions rathern than resolutions...I think that might be what I am doing too, I just didn't have a name for it yet. If I do resolutions to, say, work out x times a week I am very quick to fall into the trap of 'Oh I missed a day, well...better start over next year!' So instead I am just trying to do my best again next week.
