New Years Day 2020

We are blessed with sunshine

and a temperature of 54 today.

What a marvelous way to start the

New Year :)

When I got up I started removing

some of our Christmas decor, 

And replacing it with non-seasonal

objects. 

Then I made one of our favorite

breakfast treats.

A big ten inch skillet

Dutch Baby.

We each had half :)

Steve had his with maple syrup,

but I choose marmalade.  

Later I went outside and removed

half of our outside Christmas lights.

I hope the weather holds for a 

few days, so that I can get it all done.

Wouldn't that be nice . . .

some years the weather is so bad 

that we don't get them down until

March, LOL. 

 I've been hand-quilting

on my 35 year old quilt project.

I decided that I would add some 

embroidery and embellishments

as I quilt it. 

Back then I did my applique 

by zig-zagging the edges.

Today I have learned how to do 

a better finish . . . 

so that is the reason why

I decided to add a few

special touched with the trims :)  

Well, that's my New Year's post . . .
