Welcome 2015

My nice long Winter Break of 2014 is over.  I'm so sad.  I had a great time and enjoyed my children being around.  I truly believe you can be a mature adult 51 weeks of the year but when you come home, once again you are a child.  They didn't fight too much. 

What I did do:

1.  Finish Quilt for Kids Quilt - almost done. Did not touch

2.  Dog Coats for Roxie and Archer-  at least 2 each Did not touch
 
3.  Cross Stitch Birthday Announcements - 2 or 3 to go.  Then Frame. Nope
 
4.  Cross Stitch over one Face Yes!  I have been working on this everyday.  Over 1 is killing me!
 
5.  Start refinishing the kitchen cabinets.  Start on prep work and call for estimate. Yes!  I want to fix/replace one cabinet door and work on the corner cabinet.  All of the drawers came out great!  I wish I would have fixed them years ago.  I would like to add a set of cabinet on a bare wall, depending on the price, and an island.  After address these things I will be ready to get an estimate for the painting.
6.  New Book - Open Yale Class, Introduction to the Bible by Christine Hayes Has not happened
 
7.  New Book - The Last Passenger by Manel Loureiro Finished!  I really liked the story.
 
8.  T-Shirt Quilt - This is started.  I cut the t-shirts in half  and then trimmed them again.  I'm just wanting a small lap quilt.  I took a completed quilt and laid the shirts out on that.  Still had shirts so I laid a piece of fabric over that and finished.  I have enough to make a double sided.  I haven't had time to sew anything but this is ready. 
 
9.  Frame finished Cross Stitch. - Have not even thought about.
 
We watched movies and laughed and enjoyed being together as a family.  The to-do list was not the focus for this break.  One more birthday and it's back to normal.

It's going to be a long hard week after being off all of this time.  This week I'm just hoping to make it through it.
