Greetings and salutations.
I didn't expect to be away for so long, but it has been a great break. We spent over a week in Colorado, hanging out with my parents and skiing. It was exactly what I needed – some time to decompress and just be. We had a beautiful, low-key Christmas and I am ready to greet 2012 with a smile. That is something to be thankful for, isn't it?
In order to recover from our vacation (funny how that always happens), I'm easing back into everyday life. I've spent the last couple of days stocking the freezer and cleaning house. The girls are headed back to school tomorrow. I'm anxious to start cleaning out closets and organizing the studio so I can focus on new projects. I have not sewn a single stitch in a few weeks, but I did knit a hat while we were gone. I have so many thoughts on what I want to make and do in 2012. I'm leaning towards less is more and really prioritizing what I spend my free time doing.
See you back here soon for some show and tell.
The less is more is so hard, but totaly worth it!
Happy New Year Erin. I am excited for this year too. I just cleaned out my fridge and pantry and made the kitchen all shiny for the new year. The kids are back at school today and after packing up some orders I am going to start a set of place mats and napkins for the spring. Looking forward to seeing your projects this year.
Happy New Year Erin!
Erin – The ‘less is more’ approach is a good one. My wife and I have promised each other that we will focus on the important stuff. The other ‘stuff’…can wait.
Happy New Year to you!!
PS: Love the photograph.
We all need a break once in a while. And it’s nice to spend it with our family.
