Happy New Year! I
hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
Thanks to Sara for opening up her beautiful home to us for our Christmas
dinner. We had a great time!
I am ready for the New Year to begin! I have cleaned up after the holidays and am
now ready to get started on some new sewing projects. I have a new grandson coming in February and
need to get working on some clothes and blankets for him. Kittie has a granddaughter coming in February
as well. Any ideas on what to make would
be welcome!
Everyone should bring
their calendars for signing up for one of our meetings! I can’t wait to see what is in store for us
this year!
See you Tuesday!

From Amy:
I made this for someone at our church. Janis Mynatt (the lady from my church who smocks for us
did the Smocking). It is for a special situation. It is times like this that
make me realize how important Wee Care is. Everyone that helps needs a big
Thank You.
