2008 New Years Resolution

In order to finish Andre's "man blanket" (his words) I need to go and get more red flannel. I am not quite sure how I miscalculated, but I did and that means a trip to JoAnn's :) I went by and picked up mom on my way and we went on down to JoAnn's after walking around for a bit we saw some really cute cute towels on clearance. Mom and I were looking at them and I said those famous words "we could make those really cheap" off we went to find waffle muslin and mom bought all that they had (it was only 3 and 1/2 yards) after all of our fabric was cut we looked at each other and my a vow ...

This year we will do the projects that we buy for. Every month we will spend a weekend on Christmas projects and we will complete them.

I will keep you updated on how it goes :)

On the way home mom reminds me that I had once before (years ago) decided that I wanted to start quilting and had bought some stuff for it. So, it was decided that I would come in at her house and try and find it. She said it was probably in the basement so we went down...what a disaster (said with love) then mom looks at me and says that her 2008 New Years resolution had been to clean and organize the basement umm we better get busy!!

So I spent all day Saturday at mom's helping with her basement. Melinda and Sabrina came over to help too. We got a lot done, but we will still need to go back tomorrow.

Tonight was our Christmas with Dan's family. We went to Uncle Aubrey and Aunt Nan's house. Beth, Aaron and Ariel were there too (the usual group). The kids (and me) played Scrabble and then we opened presents. After the presents were opened and Beth, Aaron and Ariel left and we stayed and talked about life for quite some time. We always have a good time visiting and Aunt Nan is a fantastic cook :)
