Well, I’m a little late to the party, but Happy New Year! Our usual tradition is for the kitties to wish you a Happy New Year, but they’ve been traumatized by 10 days worth of the adorable Winston and there was no way they were going to pose for a picture. So, Winston, the perfect, always happy dog, would like to wish you a Happy New Year.
TheFirstChild, SweetiePie and Winston just left to go back home and we’re going to miss them — after we rest up. Whew – I’m tired! It sure was fun though — especially the dog walks with Winston. He’s just too cute!
We have two other New Year Traditions around here. The first is to put a gingerbread house or two out for the birds and squirrels. So far, we haven’t had any takers, but we’ll see. It’s so sad to put them out there without any snow — usually our January is white and wintery!
And the other tradition is to look back at 2015 and create a little collage of the year in sewing, knitting and travel. I don’t get as much done as a lot of you, but it sure was a fun year!
So, now, on to a new year. A clean slate. I love all the dreaming and planning that comes with a new year. I’m hoping to plan some new projects and maybe finish an old one in the next few weeks. I can’t wait to see what 2016 will hold for all of us — with a new grandbaby on the way, our year promises to be exciting. Wishing all of you a Healthy and Happy 2016!
XOXO,
Anna
Happy New Year to you and yours, Anna. Winston does make the perfect New Year well-wisher! :oD
Happy New Year Anna!
I noticed you have some deer sipping from a silver thimble!
happy new year!! I know what you mean about resting up after the company and the holidays are over – everything is now finally back in place and I think I’m rested – no I am rested – I hope!
Well, isn’t it good that you had a good substitute ready and willing to pose! And you may not have made as much, but I’m pretty sure you travelled farther than most of us. ;)
Happy New Year Anna, and Winston xxx
Well of course I would rather see Winston than the kitties!! We packed up Christmas this afternoon, so the house is back to normal. I do enjoy getting back into my routine after the festive season. Here’s to a year of lots of sewing!!
Lots of fun things accomplished in 2015 and I bet 2016 is full of sweet pink projects!
How could our New Year be anything but super happy with such a wonderful picture of Winston!
Happy New Year, Anna! Delightful news about the new grand baby – congratulations! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to this year……. xx
Oooh, gosh, and there we are as picture 3 in your collage. We’re honoured! Happy New Year, dear Anna.

Winston is just about the cutest doggie ever! I just want to hug him. And your yearly collage is mighty impressive. I had to look twice at the first picture because I thought you may have visited Downton Abbey! I know this will be a great New Year for you. Best to you all!!!
Winston looks wonderful in his party gear! I’m sure after SP sees how you’ve embellished him, she will follow suit. Did the squirrels finally eat the houses? well you got 3 more quilts done this year than i did! and one of them was crazy hand applique! bravo. oh, well i guess i got some baby stuff done.. and a couple of quilts for my little munchkin. okay… well i’m off to save the world. hope your weekend was wonderful and your week is even better. sending good thoughts for your little family and all the stuff you have to do right now.
