Its a New Year!

Happy New Year!  I took a small break, but I hope to keep posting now that the holidays are over.  We seem to have adopted another cat.  I'll have pictures soon.  My new years resolution:  sew more!  And not adopt any more animals (although I have always wanted chickens...).  I will leave you with Emma under the tree.
