Happy New Year!

Not having been around since August (!) I thought I could put on my best sheepish grin and tip-toe on to the blogger stage.  I am, I hope, back for a while.  I have missed everyone coming to visit.  I have visited many of you but rarely speak up.   So, here`s to a brand New Year!


The back end of 2013 has been busy in other places.  Not to say it`s been a bad year...no sir-ee!  There have been some absolutely smashing times.  Unfortunately, the camera also took a hiatus so I haven`t much in the way of proof.  Here are a few highlights that you may not have seen...


a visit to Spokane which was an enjoyable surprise...


Not all the fields in Sequim, WA are full of lavender...


My favorite part of the PNE...


My shawl took a red ribbon at our local fall fair...


And the best for last.  We welcomed a new little girl to the family in November.  This is Lexi on her second day in the world.


 Happy New Year, everyone!  I`ll be back next year.
