Well Happy New Year to all of you, have been wondering where some of you were hiding 
Glad to hear your endeavours left you something to high-five about!
Carrie that sounds like quite a step that move of yours – I wish you all the best. Also sounds like you’ve found a great outlet for your creativity.
Quizzical I know what you mean, I can’t decide If I’m moving forward or stagnating either sometimes, but I think it’s the little things that indicate things are improving. I guess it can’t all be big stuff all the time!
And CrazyKat and Carrie, reading about your sewing makes me want to get back to it, but one of my post holiday mini-projects ( well if you call 4 full days mini) was to re-organize my craft room/slash office yet again. That meant reconfiguring again and deciding more stuff had to go. Since sewing was the thing I did least over the last few years I decided I had to get rid of more stuff so I’m down to 3 machines and one stack of drawers to keep my sewing stuff in. I used to have a large table where I could sew or do other stuff on but decided that had to go as well. Now I just have one huge work desk for my computer and paper work. i figure that if I want to sew I can set up a large folding table I have.
One of the best things I’ve noticed is that I have been using my agenda religiously since last sprig – something that became apparent to me the other day as I was flipping through the old 2011. Fom when I started using it every week was filled in – a huge improvement. i used to keep ( well maybe hoard is more accurate) all my old ones. During my most recent purge I tossed a whole bunch of them. Of course I had to look through them all and thus noticed most of the pages were usually blank!!
December was a kind of nutty due to a renovation project. It all got don in the end but I was far more frazzled than I should have been In hindsight I shouldn’t have done the renovation so close to Christmas but yet I couldn’t stand it the way it was anymore and it would have all gone off without a hitch if the contractor hadn’t b;own the deadline I gave him. However, the date I gave him was a week ahead of what would put me into a last minute panic. So I guess in effect my contingency plan was what I had to deal with. Insofar that everything happened in terms of holiday parties and CHristmas that was supposed to, I guess to my credit plan B worked. I just would have preferred if it had gone according to plan A!
