| Studio Guest! |
I often house sit for a friend who has a huge sewing studio! Lots of space with three machines, a light table, cutting table etc. If you love studios, you will love all the pictures here! I love it, and will be house sitting again for her in a few days!
February
At the urging of a blogger friend, I decided to tell the story behind my shop avatar. It got lots of views!
March
March was a big blogging month if your views were any indication! It was hard to choose since many of my posts were popular--the BBA challenge Part 1 and Part 2, the Goodbye Winter post about our local river stroll, and the Shamrock Charity Run, but I chose one post about my Sew Expo Perspective, since I did several posts on this subject and all had lots of views and comments!
April
With the start of spring and an April Easter Sunday, I had the urge to make something new. Sew . . . I made a new Crayon Roll-up from some fabric that is still my favorite! Oh . . . and there was a cute post about my future crafter granddaughter Vivienne: Vivi's Pins
May
May is for Mother, right? I did a post of an old vintage picture that I found of what I think is my own mother!
I also celebrated my 500th post! Yay! But my pick for this month was about hand embroidery, since I love and appreciate the handmade quality of it over machine embroidery.
June
In June, there were graduations, birthdays, softball, fun runs, and Father's Day!
I did a series of posts, four in all, on "Got Creativity?" Actually started them the 29th of May, but finished the series in June. Links can be found on one of the home page tabs at the top of my homepage.
July
Summer hit and I was out doing a summer craft fair with my granddaughter! I was also involved with creating a new line of aprons for a local merchant with a relationship that started back in May. It kept me busy for the remainder of the year.
August
Not much bloggin' in August--to HOT and had vacation fever!! But I did introduce a new line of products! Children's tote bags!
September
Still had a little vacation fever, and went on a little trip to visit a local volcano: Mt Saint Helens. Posted pictures of our trip. I blogged about National Sewing Month, my patio garden, and my broken sewing machine!
October
In October I became a grandmother--again, with the birth of our 26th grandchild! Yay! Most of the month was taken up with that, and not much blogging. Here's a current picture of Gideon!
November - December
November was full, with the start of the holiday season, with craft shows, Thanksgiving and family celebrations, and a yo yo tutorial. Right after Thanksgiving, I started a "30 days of Christmas Fun" Series with lots of ideas. Here's one that got lots of raves! My cute little scrappy snowman pillow!
Hope you enjoyed my review and will visit some of the year's posts that interest you!
On to a New Year of Fun and Creativity!
