Hello, Welcome Friends,
Here we are… the very end of December, standing at the edge of the New Year…2026?!?

I like to think of it like opening up my fabric stash and seeing all the potential, the promise that I had when I purchased those cotton prints.
And, I always find that one fabric…
What was I thinking when
I paid money for 2 yards of THIS?!?!

To all, Health, Happiness,
time to quilt, read and that one more cup of coffee.
Happy 2026

I’ve decided 2026 is going to be my year of “new time” not more time (still waiting on that invention), but better time. Time for ideas, quilts, small adventures, and moments that don’t involve running around like I’m in a fit of overwhelmedness…(pretty sure that’s a word)

And speaking of time… I’m officially drifting away from social media. Not dramatically, not with a farewell tour, quietly stepping back like someone sneaking out of a party before the karaoke starts.
Nothing I post is ever going viral, those 6 likes and not shares, I can do without, with 6K follows.  So, instead of chasing algorithms, I’m keeping things simple: if you want me, I’ll be right here on Tuesdays, coffee in hand, sharing life, quilts, and whatever else pops up. Kind of back to the basics!

My plan is simple: less rushing, more joy. Less “should,” more “why not?” Less worrying about the perfect plan, and more celebrating the small wins, like finding the scissors before the third try. If I can do that, I think 2026 and I will get along just fine.

Thought of the Week

So here’s to stepping into 2026 with a smile, a fresh list of ideas, and the hope that our bobbins never run out at the worst possible moment.

Bring on the new time, the new ideas, and the fun that comes with starting again. Let’s make something wonderful.

Keep Stopping IN and I will Keep doing, ME…
