End of the year....Beginning of a new one....

I can't believe that we are already at the end of this year.  2010 had a lot of firsts for me:  my first grandchild, Ayden, was born, a new librarian at the Junior High, an art room(s) of my very own to escape to and I started this blog.  Okay, so I'm not very good at keeping up with this, but I am trying.

Here are a couple of my New Year's goals:  1.  To take care of myself by excercising and getting  back down to a size 8 (or 6), 2.  To be the very best and involved Grandma, 3.  To add to my blog every day (or at least once a week), and 4.  To always have a knitting project going (I'm going to knit through a book of women's hats first).

I hope everyone has a wonderful year full of firsts and that you accomplish everything that you set your mind to.

Pics of some stuffed dolls!

I was making these stuffed dolls for my bazaar and had to work at conferences one evening.  I thought that I would just take my hand sewing and work on them there.  While I was sewing our Assistant Principal came by and asked if I was making voodoo dolls.  I said yes, of course and that I should make one of him.  We all just kind of laughed but I went ahead and made one of him and one of our Principal also.  So here are some pics of the stuffed dolls for the bazaar and my stuffed Rick and Tom.  I think they turned out cute.
