Merry Christmas everyone!

As I'm typing this post, I am thinking "How do I explain my long absence from blogging without sounding like a Debbie Downer or that I am looking for sympathy?"

I am not.

Sometimes life just throws you a curve and you learn to work with it.

Since December 2017 I have been working my way through several eye surgeries (5 to be exact and 2 more to go) due to a detached retina in one eye and a torn retina in the other.
For those reasons, I have been MIA for some time now.
Sooooo.....

I have decided to set myself a few goals for 2019.
Oh my, did I just say that out loud? 
YIKES, I did, didn't I?

They will be very small goals, but goals just the same.
Here goes....

1. Make and complete at least one small quilted project a month.
(Table runner/topper, wall hanging, mug rug, placemat, etc)

2. Learn to machine quilt - the correct way.

3. Blog at least 2 times a week.

I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's a start and I am being realistic.

Until then, here's a quick gift idea from Christmas 2017.


Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas...

See ya in 2019!

Thank you so much pbrenner. You just made my day. Your comment was just what I needed. You are just too sweet! I have 2 more surgeries and should be good to go after that. Thanks again and I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!
