Not quite new year...

I am not going to promise something crazy for the new year like a new post every day or even every week, but I will promise not to neglect it for 2 months at a time!
Right now I am still having fun with the kids playing with all the new fun things they got for Christmas. #1 dd is well on her way to becoming a much better seamstress than I am. She got a new sewing maching and a large box of material for her presents. She has all ready put together several tote bags for her brother and sisters to play with, including one sling bag for DS to carry his Nerf darts in for his war games!

So when I do stop to do something on my list of improvements I will let you all know! For now, enjoy all those Christmas leftovers in your fridge like we are!
