I have been asking myself lately… is it “Happy New Year?” or “Happy New Years?” and with or without the apostrophe? however, whatever, I wish us all a healthy and happy new year filled with wonderful stitching adventures, more time to stitch, great canvases, threads, books and must have needlepoint related stitching accessories!

It had been unseasonably warm while I have been here with no snow…and that’s really okay. Until yesterday when it got down to a brisk 23 out. Brrrr! that’s too cold for me, but I am heading home soon where it will definitely warm up!

But while we are on the subject of weather, for all of you that are TNNA bound to Phoenix, the temperatures will be picture perfect and may cool down slightly to the high 60’s…just saying.

And speaking of TNNA, I will be busy in my last minute duties of a final proof and assembly of my stitch guides, magazine work, stitching and packing.

No, this is not AlleyCat, even though it could have easily been! she would love this, especially with the tissue paper that she could crinkle and make a little noise as she setlles in for her nap.

and until next time…keep on stitching
