Happy New Year 2015

The beginning of a New Year and fresh starts or plans. Soon I will step back from my nursing career and enjoy an early retirement with my sweetie. This will be the biggest change. Being off the last few days has shown me that I am ready.

The New Year began with the reveal of the lay out of Grand Illusion quilt mystery by Bonnie Hunter. Again a great layout. I did the first block and surrounding blocks. I then proceeded to do the next 5 incorrectly, so did some reverse sewing. I then decided to do them block by block. Tonight I have 6 blocks completed. I anticipate that I will get the blocks and side blocks done this weekend. However another mystery Downtin Abbey theme will begin Sunday at 9 am. Will begin ths one and do it weekly until we leave for Arizona. Here is the reveal and my block.

Then there is football. Badger's play in the Outback Bowl in Tampa. They won as well as Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. Currently watching ALABAMA and Ohio State. 

The star is #25 Melvin Gorden who will turn pro and just missed getting the Heiseman trophy.

Great Badger season. Packer's have a bye this week and then we'll see how they do in the playoffs.
