Happy New Year 2022!

Here we are again — can you believe it?  As is our tradition, we have a KittyCat Happy New Year wish:

Sadly, as you know, The Scruffster isn’t here for the traditional greeting and PaulKitty is hiding under the bed. He hides because of “that cat” up there. That’s Simba. Number one kitty belonging to TheSecondChild who has been with us for awhile. Simba is an amazing cat and we love him like crazy. He’s more like a dog and he’s a lot of fun. Unfortunately, he’s built like a panther and he likes to pounce on PaulKitty, so we have to keep them separated. So! Happy New Year from SimbaKitty and the rest of us!

Our other New Year tradition around here is to look back on the past year’s makes and family events:

It was a good year here in ThimbleannaLand. We had a lot of fun with our three little cherubs and we managed a few trips this year too.  Michigan, Maine and Peru — so fun to get away and regroup.  I had a good sewing year and I managed three quilts this year.  That’s a lot for me — I don’t know how some of you who make double digit quilts do it!  You haven’t seen that yellow quilt yet — it was a Christmas present and I need to post a little bit about it.  And there was knitting too — I almost completed my goal of one sweater for each of the granddaughters.  HurrayAThirdGirl’s sweater is almost done — the sleeves are half-way there and when they’re done, she’ll have a new little sweater (or as Pam says I must call it, cardigan – and I think she’s right, it’s only proper.)  We ended the year by making that cute Snoopy — another post coming up too.

So, on to a new year!  Whatever will it bring us?  It’s so fun to dream and speculate — and a little scary too.  I hope you’re dreaming all good things.  And I hope you will have a new year of Good Health and Much Happiness.  And, as always, LOTS of time to quilt and knit or do whatever your hearts desire.  HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
XOXO,
Anna

P.S.  I hope you win the lottery too!  ;-D
