A New Year!

After Steve and I almost caught up on things after our surprise trip to London, we headed north for a New Year celebration in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania with my parents.  We had a great, long weekend.

Typically German, we had enough sauerkraut for an entire year! LOL!  Thankfully, we all really like it.  Yet, we also started the New Year off with homemade pancakes and other goodies ... courtesy of a holiday gift gift basket from Uncle Larry and Aunt Gloria.  Most importantly, we watched football ... including our beloved Ohio State Buckeyes!  Our team won and is now in the National Championship's final game!  Go Bucks!

Before leaving, however, I finished two more pieces that will go with me to the ACC (American Craft Council) shows in Baltimore and Atlanta.  A three work is under way.
