All Dressed Up and Pouring Rain
It’s pouring rain here today. The kind of rain that brings high winds along with it. California is definitely starting the New Year with a bang! Watching the rain outside, made me dream of my trip to Paris last June, when a much more gentle rain brought out the umbrellas! It was wonderful to watch.
Then looking at the umbrellas made me think of all the shopping I did in Paris…ohh la la!
And then I wondered what Paris was like on New Year’s Eve so I went to Google to find out!
“In Paris, an estimated 235,000 people were on the Champs-Elysees with a further 35,000 around the Eiffel Tower.”
Not really so bad when you think that “NEARLY a million New Year’s Eve revelers crowded into New York’s Times Square to witness the traditional dazzling ball drop”! The amazing thing is that the ball itself has 32,000 lights! Almost as many lights as there were people around the Eiffel Tower. Wow! I can’t even image numbers like this! And don’t you wonder who does the counting? Were you a part of these amazing numbers? If so did you take pictures?
Everyone at Bunny Hill had a very quiet New Year’s Eve day. We cut 12 of these Bella Bundles. It took us FOREVER to cut 12 but we did have a lot of fun! It made us love Moda a little bit more. Once the bundles were packaged we realized how beautiful they look!
All dressed up and nowhere to go! Oh my! You’ll find 12 of these bundles on my web site and it will be awhile before we cut more!
As we begin 2011 I just couldn’t be more excited! Do you feel it too? 2011 is going to be a very good year!
Is the jar 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
Join me on my web site and blog on the 5th of January and start filling your jar with fun! Make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter. You’ll find it on the home page of my web site!
Happy New Year everyone!
Hugs,
Anne

Looking forward to all the creative goodness you have to share in the New Year. I hope it a healthy and happy 2011 for you and your loved ones–including the Bunny Tales critters too.

The jar is definitely half full. Anne, I’ve enjoyed your blog so much. You’ve played such a major role in my quilting journey this year. I love my Tisket a Tasket quilt which is predomdinantly displayed in my quilt room (with two ribbons pinned on the front, I might add). I’m just assembling Le Jardin, and anxiously looking forward to the arrival of the first installment of The Night Before Christmas from Shabby Fabrics. Rabbits Prefer Chocolate is waiting in the wings, so this has definitely been the Year of Anne Sutton for me. Happy New Year, Anne — looking forward to whatever’s coming next!

Happy New Year, Anne!
I too am dreaming of my Paris trip last summer. But I spent New Years with good friends and family here in snowy Edmonton.
I can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for this year. You always have the BEST surprises!
