The first week of the year, and the first week I am "back".

I am trying to find "something to do". Yes, I can work on the piles and piles of items to be filed that line the book shelves of our office. But that is so last year. I could also spend some time on my school volunteer pile. Instead, I am playing with velvet. I am in love with this fabric right now!

This gives me the opportunity also, to do some cleaning up in the carriage house - where all my fabrics live. I still have boxes of sewing supplies in the basement out there!

I just downloaded these two random pics ...

Slade riding on the T in Boston - I think we were on our way to the Museum of Fine Arts. They had just completed a new wing and we had a great time having lunch and wandering everywhere.



Seby, Olive & Zane staying warm by the fire, while I'm sure I was laying on the red VELVET couch. Love that couch!



We are still under quite a bit of snow here in Minneapolis. We continue to get a little more and more snow. Luckily we all really love the snow. I can't imagine having a winter without it! The lake house had less snow that we have here - but it is still early in the season and hopefully we will get a big dump up there before long.
