One Word 2020

My one word for 2019 was resolute. I have to say that I think I did a pretty good job of staying resolute over the year. I'm surprised at the effect that word had on my dealing with the challenges and opportunities that life throws our way.

So, time to pick a new word. I'm choosing steadfast for my one word in 2020. It's not a word that leaps to mind very often, but I think it's a good word to follow resolute. As you can see, resolute is featured in the definition of steadfast.

To me resolute sounds more assertive and deliberate, where steadfast sounds like a habit to be developed. That's just my opinion.

Anyway, hopefully my venture into resolute-ness has led me to me more steadfast! haha

Blog Changes

Some idiot hacker has been leaving comments on my blog today. It is so frustrating and irritating when people like that try to take over something that is not theirs.

To that end I'm going to have to moderate comments. I'm sorry to have to make this change, but I don't know of any other way to stop this person.

Thanks for being understanding!

2019 Stockings

As you know if you've been reading my blog for a while, I love to make Christmas stockings for my family. I always stitch two stockings for each family member, one for my house and one for their house. Although I love to stitch the stockings, I'm a terrible procrastinator when it comes to assembling them. I sew them by hand and it is a tedious process (at least for me). Each stocking takes me three to four months to stitch.

Here's a peek at the stockings I completed this year:
