A New Year-A New Beginning

Happy New Year to everyone! I pray this year sees us all growing in love toward each other and to God.

I don't really make resolutions anymore, but I do like to try to improve my life, and I'm sure you do as well. This year I would like to continue decluttering my house and life. I really do want my life to be more simple, so I can enjoy relationships with family and friends, and have more time to spend in God's Word. Relationships with people and God are so rewarding, whereas relationships with "things" are so one-sided! ;-)

The very first day of this year I went on a road trip with my hubby. He has been concerned about the hay situation for a few weeks now. He put up all he could get his hands on, and didn't sell any, but it just isn't going to be enough. He really doesn't like to see his cows get skinny in the winter months, especially since many of them are pregnant with this springs calves.

We prayed about it, and he found some good Bermuda hay, but it was three and a half hours away, one way! But we did it for the cows. We had a good time on the trip, just talking and singing and being with each other.

Aiden is doing very well in school this year, and I am enjoying homeschooling him. He tries very hard, and he is learning to cook as well. He usually makes breakfast on the mornings he is here, and now that he has the hang of it, he doesn't really want my help! I finished this hat for him a couple of days ago.


I am working on a new wrap called the "Shh! Wrap". I'm using some yarn that I spun about a year ago from Shetland wool. I kettle dyed it a color that I call Ranch Red. It is a little itchy, so I didn't want to use it for something that would be right on the skin. I have never made a wrap like this one, so I thought the challenge would be fun. Here is a picture of the wrap, and the yarn. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
