Goodybe 2013

I am not one to wish time away. It's limited, it's precious, and there certainly is never enough of it. I feel bad when I say during the week that I can't wait for the weekend, as though weekdays have no essence, no value, no fun of their own. However, I will say today that I am finished with this year and ready for a new one (see how it's pretty much the last minute and I don't really have a choice in it anyway?). It is the first year in my memory where it's easier to recall the negative, as there seemed to be so much more of it, and bright spots more difficult to find. I won't recount those negative happenings here. I just wanted to say that I am looking forward--forward to a new year, to new projects, new friends, and new ideas. Please know that, even though my posting has been more sparse this year (especially recently) than others, this blog has been my happy place. That is due in large part to all of you--knowing that you're there and following along in my adventures, sewing and otherwise, providing encouragement and ideas and laughs. I am more grateful for that than you can imagine.

So here's to a new year. I welcome its coming and look with hope towards what it holds. Which better be freakin' good, because I'm too young for ulcers. Happy new year!!
