Wow, what a great year this will be! I'm so glad 2010 is over I cannot even believe that this is my chance to start anew in my own way. I'm making plans and looking ahead for a change. I'm going to be reading, hopefully in quick succession, a series of books that I want to share with others after I've gotten every tidbit I can from them. I'm on a mission to start a new routine for my day and to write my goal lists to happily cross them off as I go. I'm excited to go on this journey as its been such a long time coming. I'm ready. More prepared than ever before, I'm going out into the world to make something mine and then to share it as happily as I can.
To start I just finished, "Searching for Paradise in Parker, PA" and "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle."
As I'm living in the now I will not rehash these books, but I will say that I enjoyed them both for very different reasons and would recommend them.
I am now starting "Worry" by E. Hallowell, M.D. and am 2/3 the way through Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
I have started sewing again. So far I've done 4 different types of pillows and pillow cases in addition to various repairs and patches I've put off completing. My next projects include more pillows, 4 purses and one queen sized quilt. This will be a great learning experience for me and as I go I plan to update my progress. I'm using "The Sewing Book" by Alison Smith and "The Sewing Bible" by Ruth Singer. The projects are to increase in difficulty as I go along and the quilt will be the largest and most difficult sewing project I have ever attempted. Whatever happens, success will be judged in completion only. Time efficiency and quality will come with practice.
In sticking with the theme of establishing a routine, it's time to go to bed soon. That being said, I'll sign off now and come back when I have more to share.
Goodnight my racing sphere of destiny, the curve ball ride of my life.
