our tree usually lasts until the ephinany but not so this year. we took one last look at our warmly glowing little christmas tree tonight before we stripped it bare and carried it outside (for fear that it would be glowing and bare for a different reason!). i will miss curling up and knitting in the evenings (and early hours of the morning!) with the tree in the background, though. well, time to set down the knitting for a bit. these two projects will be the last of 2010 and the first of 2011...fitting, i think.
i am determined to get one last post in. i was hoping it would be the one for the girls' birthday party (finally), but that just is not going to happen. and i am okay with that (there's always another day...fingers crossed).
i treasure this place that i have here, and i cannot even begin to put words to how much i treasure all of you! i know it sounds trite, but it is true. so, in an effort to not totally fail this little blog (and any of you who still pop over to peer in the windows and say "hello") in the waning hours of 2010, i put together a mosaic of what i have made this year,
and as i was going through flickr, i realized that i either had not taken photos of lots of things that i have made this past year, or i did indeed take them, but i have yet to edit or upload them.
apparently, i have found my new year's resolution.
sadly, there is nothing 'new' about it. each year i dream about the same thing and tell myself that *this* is the year that i *will* manage my time better and be more organized (i know, i know...it borders on pitiful and it is so mundane.)
well, i think that this really will be the time i finally stick to it. lots of big things are happening this year, my friends. i want to be ready (and not so very anxious!).
this has been a very good year, and we have been given some unexpected opportunities to go down paths that we didn't even know existed and to meet people that we didn't even think to wish for.
some of it has been slightly terrifying at times, but in the end it is all goodness.
it also helps to know that there are steady arms waiting to catch and hold you if you fall.
so, be brave...a shiny new year is upon us! may you embrace it and all of its possibilities with the fullness of your being.
wearing a cute hat and pink+red stripe-y socks while doing so gives you triple bonus points. ;)

You've made some beautiful things this year, Cathy! I love to visit your blog - thanks for taking the time to do everything you do.
Happy New Year, Cathy!! One of my goals involves you... I want to learn to knit! Hope to see y'all soon.
Happy New Year Cathy, like you I'm hoping that this year will be the one where I'm more organized, and less stressed.
I have 3 kids too, and you inspire me when I see what you achieved in 2010...can't wait to see what you're up to in 2011!
Happy New Year, Cathy! Good things in 2011 my friend, for sure :)
