Hello 2013!!!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!! Did you stay up counting down last night? We did!! There was a small event at the university near our home so we went. I didn’t expect much, but it was actually really fun~ There were lots of food stands and games and performance, and even a little fireworks to welcome the new year!!! Even tough it was very cold last night, we had a very good time~

I’ve also completed the Birds of a Feather Mystery Sampler before the year ended!! I used all the material it called for, but used 2 strands of floss instead of one. This was such a fun piece to stitch, and I really enjoyed the process. I love all the little details, even hubby loved it, too~~ I’m still thinking of whether to frame it or make it into a pillow, can’t decide yet….
