2024 is now officially behind us…
So what can I expect from 2025? I’m hoping the pace moves a little bit slower than 2024.
I hope it brings with it a chance to really make a dent in our debt, and tuck away a few dollars for the future.
I don’t think I’ll make any predictions for house projects. The furnace install in December was part of a package deal that included a heat pump and a tankless water heater. They will be installed at the end of this month. Dave is certainly looking forward to not having to haul and install window a/c units this year. And I’m looking forward to (hopefully) lower energy bills.
For the gardens, I plan to widen a couple of the borders along the fence, but otherwise keep things at status quo. I still have a pile of seeds left and more plants in the gardens than I can shake a stick at, so I’m challenging myself not to buy any new plants (other than annuals for planters) this year! Wish me luck.
When it comes to crafting, I plant to both knit and quilt exclusively from the stash. That shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I have so much yarn and fabric I’m literally tripping over it in the studio. I’d also like to spend some more time with my water colours if I can manage it.
Above all, I hope to have a happy, healthy 2025. And I hope you do too!

I still have 29 minutes left of 2024! I hope and pray that all you wish to be for 2025 will come to pass. I have certainly enoyed being a blogging friends for the past years and hope that will continue!
Happy New Year to you, Dave and the fur babies.
Blessings and love,
Betsy

Beautiful photos.
I can’t say I will totally craft from stash, but I do intend to be more selective in what I buy. I will say I MOSTLY want to work from stash. There certainly is plenty to choose from.
Wishing you and all your boys a very happy 2025.
