Happy New Years!

Wow where has the year gone to? I know that we all say that! But really where does the time go to? It goes by all too fast. I keep myself very busy and never let myself waste too much time…well you know there is just way too much to be accomplished, too many places to visit, new needlepoint shops to discover, new threads and stitches to fall in love with and new canvases to discover.

This canvas is not in my stash, but would be a great one to stitch for a very special way to welcome in the New Year. Maybe it is your birthday or anniversary and it would be a wonderful way to mark a most momentous occasion. Canvas by Sandra Gilmore and it is a bell pull that measures in at 5″ x 41″ so it is not a small undertaking. It is on 16 mesh though, but still is a larger than most.

What plans do you have to celebrate the New Years? Looks like Mooch will sleep through the festivities. Smart kitty I will say!

After all the years that I worked in the restaurant and having to work…it is a pleasure to be able to stay home because I want to! I see a little bubbly in my future and sometimes an early movie and then some stitching.

Do you have any New Years Resolutions? I am really not a maker of them as it is usually only a way to set yourself up for failure. I hope to set aspirations to stitch more, to find that perfect canvas that makes my heart sing, to live healthier and well you know all the other usual stuff.

Fireworks over the bay tonight…that is if you are brave enough to stand out in the cold with temperatures that will hover around 38 or so. Not for me!

Is there hope for these 2? that soon I will see them curled up in a pile together? or is AlleyCat giving Sylvester the stare down thinking “don’t you even think about getting any closer to me?”

and until next time…keep on stitching

About Vicky

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  2. Happy New Year, Vicky

    Looking forward to your needlepoint journey in 2013. Love the blog and always enjoy what your doing. I’m hoping to get to ANG Seminar in 2013 and maybe you will be there too. Take care and hope your feeling better.

    Hugs to you and the babies

  3. I really miss those fireworks! What a beautiful shot of them! Now,Vicky…36 is not THAT cold….thanks for the great post-Happy New Years! May your new year be filled with wonderful surprises and great happiness! You certainly bring a bundle of smiles to your readers!

    • No, I agree with you that 36 is not THAT COLD, but for San Diego and the precious produce industry 36 is way TOO COLD… Happy New Year’s and I miss you!

  4. Happy New Year my friend. Looking forward to a year of many surprises, good ones, of course – which may even include Ac and Sylvester closer together (although I am not holding my breath given AC’s stare in that picture).

    Have a wonderful year and I truly hope we see more of each other this year; it was a pleasure to meet you last year.

    As for resolutions, I was going to say: not starting any new canvas until I finish all my WIPs. Then I remembered I have a class with Brenda this weekend……. oh well, I did try (at least I said it, right? does it count?) 🙂

    • I have missed you my dear friend!and I too hope we get to see each this year.

      Have a great time with Brenda and I see her next weekend! HappY New Year and here’s to some great stitching!
