Welcome to 2011

As we are now a few days into the new year, I thought it was about time to update my blog. The holidays here have been wonderful. My husband made it home from deployment a few days before Christmas. As any military spouse will tell you, getting to spend any holiday with your spouse is an enormous blessing, and I enjoyed every minute of it. :) While we didn't get to go back to visit family, our Christmas was full of laughter, good food, and wonderful friends.
New Year's Eve was very low key for us. We talked about going out, and when it came down to it, the hubby and I decided to get Chinese take-out and a bottle of wine. We spent the evening with each other and with our dogs. It was a wonderful way to start 2011.
Now, as for the business......I've been reading a lot of blogs where people post their business goals for the new year. I think that's fantastic. However, for me, my business goals will always be dependent on my health. My goals are to put my health first, to not push myself physically beyond my limits, and to work on my shop when I can. Of course I would love to continue to grow my business, participate in new shows locally, and continue to introduce new designs. I am optimistic that I will be able to do all of those things, but I also know that above all else, I need to take care of myself. After all, what good is having a successful business if I'm too weak to enjoy any of it?? So, if I don't post for a bit, just know that I'm still here. :)
With that said, here's wishing all of you a wonderful, prosperous, and HEALTHY new year!
