The ceremonial dumping of the ort jars occurred about 10:15 last night, and I was tucked into bed and asleep shortly thereafter, so, as usual, I did not see the new year come in. Dearly Beloved stayed up and said it felt like just every other year, so I didn't miss anything.
You know you're old when you don't care about the hoopla about the new year, although I have enjoyed Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen in the past--just wasn't feeling it this time.
Anyway, despite being the Grinch about New Year's, I did pull out a new project.
Brenda Gervais' "A Daily Reminder" which I call the "Be Good and Do Good" sampler--I thought maybe it could be my blessing sampler.
Then is looked at the sawtooth border and the overall size and the solidly stitched house in the middle and thought maybe it wouldn't be.
So . . . it's now my New Year's Day Start. If I finish it by the end of January 31, it may become a blessing sampler. I am making no commitments, setting no goals, just along for the ride.
That may be the way I get through 2026.
