Thank you! :) And it's wonderful to hear from another Inkblots fan! Well, Melinda, the handcraft this year consists of uncompleted projects from former Januarys. :) My pet right now is a section of a crazy quilt that I started years ago--made all of scraps from gowns I've sewn and friends' wedding dresses and bits of sentimental hodge-podge. I'm embroidering mottoes on it right now. It's a rather dubious undertaking, but it's fun. :) Allison, your kind words absolutely made my day.

I like your idea. I had planned to spend the month potty-training, but cross-stitching sounds much to be preferred. :-) Januweary is a good name for it. I like your idea.

I have just dismantled our still green Christmas tree. I well remember the fun we had the night y'all came over to help us finish decorating and we ate lasagna and discussed holiday plans and Elizabeth's homecoming. I have been so sad today that I ate all the rest of the chocolate covered pecans in retaliation!! It was a good Christmas with many sweet blessings and I want the ghosts of this Christmas to hover a little longer into January... I think it is definitely time for a season of dormancy don't you?
