What a fabulous first month!

I got behind on my reading this month, and only today was I able to get around and visit all the blogs of people who finished their pieces.  I hope I didn't miss anyone!  I promise to try to do better next month and visit you AS you post rather than all in one big rush at the end of the month :-)

I'm making a bead embroidered cuff bracelet for each month this year.  I've cut out all my pieces, although some of them may end up changing if a month comes along and my mood changes.  I decided to start with the brightest riot of colors for one of the dreariest months, January.  My son and his family just moved to Guatemala yesterday, back to the orphanage where he was working when he met his wife (one of the daughters of the directors).  They took my one and only grandbaby with them...I couldn't persuade them to leave her with me ;-)  Anyway, I chose the bright colors because I knew I'd need a bit of cheering up. 

Here's a LINK to my blog where you can see a picture if you'd like.
