Note to self

I must remember to take the tablecloth off when seeing - otherwise the quick unpick will become my best friend!

Busy busy

Bring on holidays has meant lots of time to sew. Last Friday Marya and I had another sewing day and worked on a range of projects - some more successful than others. But I had few wins- I finished the quilt for my nieces 21st which had been a wip for at least two years and I whipped up an apron for my friend Cate's birthday. But there are still a few things I want to finish these holidays - so here is the list and I will check back in a couple of weeks riser how I am going!

2012 resolutions

I have mentioned before what a great way a blog is to make resolutions and last year I think I did ok. My resolutions included finishing the pool and starting the garden- both achieved. It took 2 years for the 2010 resolution to lose weight - but I did that too in 2011, and I blogged a little bit more. I cherished turning 50, as you can see by my birthday smile-

 but as 2011 will always be a bitter sweet year for me - I will move into 2012 with a smile and the following resolutions:

cherish my family

be less extravagant

FINISH the garden

sell some craft

be happy :)
