Are you married to my long dear departed husband? He used to say the same
thing.

My friends just left about 10 minutes ago. We went out for an early dinner
and came back here for wine, blueberry pie and coffee ice cream. For me it
was a perfect celebration and now I can put on my jammies and relax.

HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR to Everyone.

Happy New Year.

Let's start it out right, with some enabling. I just discovered a new
designer: Linda Myers. Anybody else know her work? Her "Amish Country
Sampler" really sings to me!

Oh, you evil, evil enabler!

I managed not to order anything, so I'm still abiding by my resolution
to get a project done before I buy any more.

But, then again, I'm within a few hundred stitches of finishing
Snowflake Sampler, so if my resolve wavers this afternoon, I'm
technically not in violation.

BTW, I have my first finish of the year already! Just after midnight, I
finished knitting a romper for a friend's grandbaby. (Well, I guess
it's not really "finished" because I still have to sew the two pieces
together and find some buttons.) Started the second romper, and then
I'll be done with baby clothes for a while. :)

Happy New Year to all RCTN readers.
I'm not a stitcher but my wife, Maureen, is well on the way to
completing "Richard III" in cross-stitch (Stitchpics RTT01
<www.stitchpics.com/~rgillett/rtt01.htm>). My contribution is to use my
scanner & computer to enlarge the patterns a bit.

I really enjoy your posts, and being a stitcher's "supporter" does give
you validity here. LOL That is a major project that Maureen is working on!!

It's Maureen's second attempt. The first try, about 15 years ago, failed
because Maureen realised (too late!) that the pattern had two symbols
that were almost indistinguishable (a plus sign and a divide sign). I
ordered another copy of the pattern from Stitchpics in Autumn 2006; when
it arrived we saw that the pattern had been re-drawn and the symbols
were now much distinct. However, there is still an occasional outburst
of un-ladylike language from Maureen's workroom when our cat, Surrey,
suddenly takes it into her head to leap, unannounced, onto Maureen's lap
thus disturbing the pattern and scattering silks everywhere.

I've seen some of hers around. I couldn't find one with this title - but
did see the "amish Country Life" , and the Amish Sampling. Personally, I
really like the Willow Hill Farm one but....

I have, sigh. Going to break bigger ones too. I am going to Ruby and
Bill's in a short time for their annual New Years Day event and yes, I
am taking the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake - after that, it's
back on track.

By my reckoning you have lasted twelve hours, so keep it up lol

Please wish Ruby and Bill a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year from
me, too. Also, if you eat a little of the cake, you are just doing it
for me, so it won't count calorie-wise!!

And of course you were sleeping during some of those. I always find
it easy to keep resolutions while I sleep ! I don't really make them
anymore because it is setting myself up for failure. That's sounds
such a sensible reason doesn't it :)

Or sleep more. Stuart McLean on CBC pointed out the other day that
resolutions are seldom much fun, so sticking to them very long is
unlikely for most people. However, I heard from an old friend yesterday
(who lives in BC) who lost 50 pounds on Weight Watchers last year, and
that has been enough for me to periodically over the last day or so to
pull my sweatshirt up to pensively examine the evidence of past
gluttony.

Meanwhile, enjoy your cheesecake since it is the last social occasion
of the holiday season. Gotta take one more for the team! (grunt).
