Happy New Year Wishes From Susan and Bentley

Happy New Year Everyone!  

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday.

We are very lazy today.  I'm in still in my flannel pj's.  Bentley

is curled up napping on the sofa.  David is in his favorite chair

covered by a cozy quilt and channel scanning, stopping

mostly on football. 

It's cold, gray and it is snowing.  The perfect day at home

as far as I am concerned.  I am about to start a pot of chicken soup.

I love to make soup and to enjoy the delightful homey aroma that

fills the house.  So cozy on a winter's day.

I hope that I will finally master granny squares in 2013.

Oh, and I really need to finish the quilt I started many years ago.

I am setting up my very own little studio inside my cottage.  For

years I shared an in home office with David, but since he has a 

new office, I get the room all to myself.  I am happily painting a

vintage child sized hutch that was a Christmas gift.  It will go on

the top of a very large desk in the room that I am skirting with

canvas drop cloths.  I have been bleaching these drop cloths for two 

days now.  It will be wonderful to have my own space to sew and

create and dream.  Can't wait to share my studio with you.

My little cottage celebrates it's 100th birthday this year.

Happy birthday little cottage!

Every year I like to set a goal for myself.  This year I want

focus on living life large.  

Finding time for fun and creativity.  

Enjoying the simple pleasures.

Bentley and I treasure the moments we have spent with you.

We look forward to spending more time with you all in 2013.

We wish you health, happiness and prosperity.  Most of all

we wish you treasured moments to come with family and friends.

Happy New Year!

Big Hugs and Lots of Love,

Susan and Bentley
