Friends, I've decided to skip the usual end-of-year reviews and leave you instead with a simple holiday song, sung in a simple holiday house coat.
Have a Happy New Year, everybody, and thank you for all the kindness and warmth you've shared with me this year!

ReplyDeleteVery nice - Happy New Year to you both!
ReplyDeleteSo very glad I clicked a second time today!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gentlemen, and same to you.
Peter: You have a lovely way of singing - and the piano playing was excellent! Aren't you two talented?!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the music...and the wishes. You're both beautifully talented.
ReplyDeleteI really love the robe you made for your mother. It takes me back. I made one very similar to that when that fabric was first in style. I love the shape, the cut and the fabric. Sorry she didn't like it. I wonder if you could dye it one amazing colour so that she would like it.
Love your blog. Thanks and Happy New Year to you too.
Is there anything you can't do? And Michael, what a sport; he's a keeper. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your blog, Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteLove to you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great big smile today (and all year long). Happy New Year to you both!
ReplyDeleteThanks, this song has never been sung better. Or the singer so attractively attired!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely fabulous, you've made my evening! Happy New Year to you both, wishing you lots of lovely things for 2014!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great song and that fabulous housecoat! I think you should raffle it off to one of your devoted fans :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have made my evening, thanks Peter for the blog and all your MANY talents. Lovely voice. Happy New Yera to you both.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Now I know how New Yorkers spend New Year's Eve!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you both :)
That was wonderful! Thank you so much for the New Year wishes. Happy 2014 to you both. :)
ReplyDeleteBravo! Love the robe and the sentiment. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletePriceless, Thank you, I lift a glass to you both, cheers
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
That was wonderful, thank you! Happy New Year to you two, too!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to both of you for the coming year.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can sing, too! (What are the chances of you and Oona working up a duet?) I continue to be amazed by your sewing talents and can't wait to read what you'll sew next. Happy New Year to you and Michael.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! All the best to Michael and you, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Year Year to you all too! That was really charming:) Your delivery is very Fred Astaire, could totally picture you singing a Fine Romance This Is.
ReplyDeleteDANG! boy, you can sing! And that piano! Loved it. Round of applause. What a spectacular treat! :)
ReplyDeleteThe housecoat suits you. The real questions are, 1. What is Cathy doing New Year's Eve, and 2., please tell me that's Michael's studio and you have not managed to fit a piano into your apartment along with the chihuahua treadmill and numerous sewing machines?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you both, to Willy and Freddy, and to Housecoat-less Sonja.
You guys are the best!!!!! Looking forward to more fun and creativity in 2014.
ReplyDeleteThanks, love and kisses to you both!

That was beautiful - thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter and Michael, that was beautiful. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis was adorable and sweet! Thank you so much and HAPPY NEW YEAR, PETER!
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie and detected recently your blog. I own a very old "Singer-Treadle" (about 100 years old i guess ?). It's a heirloom from my grandparents. Now I try to check it out and hope I can handle with it, because I would like to sew "patchwork jeans" and to change my old bluejeans into "new designer jeans"...hahahaha...
Later I will tell more....
Happy New Year 2014

Bravo! Happy New Year to you, Michael and the pups!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, that has already made my year! Hope you are going to wear this coat regularly from now on? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and Micheal!
Happy New Year to you and Michael!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Peter and Michael. Thank you for the wonderful rendition of a beautiful song (beautifully done by the way). Like many I feel like I have grown to know y'all from following your fab blog this past year. If my hubby (also named Peter) and I get up that way to visit our son who is living in Brooklyn I would love to actually meet y'all. Maybe take a trip to Mood Fabrics and see what that's all about. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2014.
ReplyDeleteYou are the sweetest man.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year from Blighty.
love

ReplyDeleteI've only recently begun to follow your blog because of your sewing and vintage sewing machine information, but I had no idea your talents also extended into singing! Really enjoyed your voice and Michael's piano playing. Happy New Year to both of you.

ReplyDeleteMy phone isn't allowing me to scroll after a short visit to this site (about 5 seconds), and Laura Mae's site as well (coincidence???). Refreshing doesn't help, and I can't comment.
ReplyDeleteSo, after days of frustration I am on an actual computer and able to comment. [end rant]
From the swing and sway of "THAT robe!!!", before the first note was sung, you and Michael had me.
MPB is the town hall, smart lounge behind an unmarked door, and clearinghouse for creative characters. Each year the organic growth in sewing and social commentary delights and captivates, and one can only await the unscripted path MPB takes in 2014.
For keeps,

Just got around to listening -- beautiful! :) Happy New Year indeed.
