It's a New Year !!

It is now 2015 , a brand new year to celebrate and make the very most of .  I hope you enjoyed a very Happy New Year with your family and the year ahead will be your best ever  . I don't make resolutions as I am pretty sure I wouldn't keep them but I do plan on becoming more organized , purging and decluttering and of course lots of sewing , I wouldn't have a very happy year without being creative . I have some UFO's that are screaming at me to finish them and some BOM'S that need to be made into quilt tops , oh yeah I have lots to keep me busy , how about you , have you made plans for this year??
  I have spent the past couple of days trying to catch up on my BOM's for our guild project and I have one more block that I need to finish but it takes templates which are not printing out the proper size from my printer so I will have to wait on that one for now but here are the blocks I have made so far , not all of these were made the past couple of days , about half of them ,

 Not the best photo , this is on the floor as my design wall is otherwise occupied ;-) I also cut and started to piece the final block for Aurifil for 2014 BOM just a few more stitches and that one will be complete . I will then need to find some fabrics suitable to use for sashings and borders . 

  It has been such a busy time I have not had a chance to share three postcards that arrived on Christmas eve . 

This first one came from Eglea and she mailed this on November 4th and yes it took that long to arrive , I think it must have taken the scenice route or maybe it was being admired by the postal staff  lol!  It is so pretty and done in the colours of the Brazilian flag , how creative Eglea , thanks so much .

This fun card arrived from Sunny just in time for Santa , thanks so much Sunny !!

. 

This pretty landscape postcard depicting the mountains of Idaho where Judy skiis arrived just a couple of days after Christmas , Thanks so much Judy .  

While I am thinking about it , I want to remind the postcard swappers to add their postcards to the flicker page I have set up and while you are there you can browse around to see those that have been uploaded already . Here is the link  https://www.flickr.com/groups/2785330@N22/

 Hope that works .  

Anyone up for a Valentine swap ?? If we get the names assigned real quick we would have lots of time to get those cards made and in the mail . Please let me know if you think this is a good idea and send me your info , mailing address, full name, blog address if you have one and of course your email address , this is very important as I would like to make life a little simpler by copying and pasting . Thanks and hope we do have some interest , they are such fun to create . You make one and you receive one from your partner , if you want more than one partner please let me know that as well . You can start making your card right now so by the time I assign names you will be all set to pop it in the mail . 

That's it from me today , I have to finish disassembling my Christmas decorations and since I have a lot it takes a long time !! 

 Thanks so much for stopping by and again I hope 2015 is a great year for each of you .
