Yea, it's the New Year! I'm always happy to go in to a new year, not that 2012 was bad or anything but it always feels good to turn over a new leaf and start afresh. I am feeling creatively reenergised - one of the things I want to conquer my fear of this year is paper piecing and as I have a paper pieced bee block to do, it looks like that will happen one way or another. There are also other areas of my life which I really want to work on like getting fit, decorating our house and finally getting to grips with the Morccan dialect! I have a lot of vocabulary but I need to get those verbs sorted...
We spent New Year up in Warwick with my aunt and uncle. It was a lovely quiet evening in front of the fire with a bit of Jools Holland watching some wrinkly singers from the eighties make a reappearance - it was great!
Even the sun made a reappearance yesterday. We blew away the cobwebs on Warwick racecourse in the morning and it was beautiful - one of those perfect cold blue-skyed sunny mornings.

Mum took her quilt with her so that she could show my aunt, and we managed to get some better photos of it - in the sunlight. So indulge me if I show you a couple more for the last time!
Here's my mum...she looks happy! Any ideas for a name for the quilt?
...and a vertical shot of the front.
I have plans for what I want to achieve this month - assuming that I return home with my machine. I have a couple of finishes for the Care Circle of do.Good Stitches to do, then I will be retiring from this bee. I have my husband's quilt to finish and some bee blocks to make and send off...yikes, that machine had better be ready!
