Normal

Finally, after a very nice holiday season, life returns to normal.  Sorry, but I like normal!  The tree is down, the ornaments are wrapped, boxed up and put away in the closet and all my pink things are back in place! 

I didn't actually do any stitching yesterday but I did pull some lace pieces for this Valentine Cat Doll:

I plan to sit here and stitch for 1 hour before I do anything else today!

Our New Year's was quiet.  Mom and dad came over and while Dad and Bubba watched football (I hate football!), Mom and I planned our projects and deadlines for our Boutique items for the year.

We had Chinese food for dinner and ate some cookies and now I'm ready to have my routine back.

I have some new Valentines to add to the shop this week so I'll start on that this afternoon.  Later this week, I want to sew up my Valentine's Day pillows and Cat Dolls so I can add them to our Valentine's Day Shop which by the way, is now open.

The new issue of Shabby Lane Shops magazine will be available on January 5th in Barnes and Noble, Hancock Fabric Stores and at Shabby Lane Shops:

Have a great day everyone!  I'm off to stitch!
