A New Year

Is it already half way through Janury? Really? 15 days into the new year? I feel like we’ve been on holiday forever. The Holidays themselves were busy – filled with travel, family, celebrations and lots of yummy food. We played in the snow, decorated, made gifts for family and friends, warmed up by the fire, drank egg nog latte, stayed up too late, watched too much TV, snowshoed in the mountains, went skating, read many books and started more knitting projects.

2008 is shaping up to be an interesting year. Focusing on taking time for me to recharge and find balance in my life. So important when you are living life with a little one and thinking about adding to the family. A big trip is in the works…I will talk more about this when it’s solidified but I am busy filling in passport forms, reading travel books, planning and hopefully very soon booking flights.

Highlights from the past month:

New handmade play kitchen. An amazing gift from Grandma & Grandpa.

Annual trip with friends to Brackendale to watch the eagles.

Little E’s first time on skates:

 

Getting inspired by:

• House on Hill Road’s Handmade Christmas posts. I think I have to make Little E one of these and these.
• Sunrise Circle Jacket. The BIG knitting project for me this year. I wonder if I can find some recycled yarn to knit this up with?
• 3191, A Year of Evenings. The follow-up to 3191, A Year of Mornings.
