It's a girl!

Finally! Dove at my Door is done and I like her. I quilted her very lightly since I wanted her to stay soft and snuggly. The back is flannel. She will be donated to Ronald McDonald House in Seattle.

Not yet

Christmas finally got completely put a way this weekend. The rest was pretty much spent in a "What do you mean you're going snowboarding on Wednesday and since you grew 5 inches in the last year nothing fits?" panic.

This means that nothing fun really happened and "Dove at my Door" is still not done. I have decided to give you a sneak peek since I have NOTHING else to show and my cutback in blogging is becoming a little more than I was planning on.

In other news...
...I have TWO mittens now!

Here we go!

It's a new year! Josh very wisely stated yesterday that a person's birthday would be a better day to make resolutions since that would actually be a new year for them. I thought that made a lot of sense. I have things I'd like to accomplish in 2008, but I wouldn't call them resolutions.

There is, of course, the diet and exercise thing. We have a trip to Hawaii planned this coming summer and I'd better get an early start.
We have quite a few home improvement plans which I've started a folder for so the planning can be organized and priorities set according to budget restraints.
I'd like to make at least one quilt a month, which should be greatly helped by the "Block & Pattern-a-Day" calendar. I think my biggest challenge with this is going to be turning patterns I wouldn't normally have used into quilts I actually like. Well, that and actually making a block/quilt a day...

This is Quilt No. 1 - Dove at my Door (January 1 - 3)

JoAnn's was open yesterday (woohoo!) and I actually got started on it. It has to be completed by tomorrow. Hmmm...
