Happy New Year to you!
Welcome to 2010, we had a quiet celebration here, just the three of us watching a wild storm brewing outside, looking back at the last 12 months and wondering what this new year might bring us.
I always love the start of the year, a clean slate, a new calendar and a new diary. Nothing on the pages (but hope & expectation) feels like a weight has been lifted of your shoulders don't you think? I have to be honest though, I always buy a diary and use it for about a week then forget I have it. At least I am organised for the first week of the year, let's not worry about the other 51 weeks just yet. I'm a one day at a time kinda girl.
I still can't believe how fast 2009 went so here is a recap, in pictures
January I received a collection of fabrics to design a block for Homespun's "Breast of Friends" block of the month.

In February I shared the first few images of the Tail Feathers block of the month
I was 'collecting' these scraps writing up my book list in March and just being Mum
Pattern writing was big in April as Tail Feathers was almost ready, along with a little bit of dress making and celebrating my 30 something Birthday.
In May I was celebrating the release of Tail Feathers and making loads of these 100% fat free eye candy yo-yo's
June.....there was this little project ready to go for Quilt Aid 2009
In July I found and lost my angry eyes....plus I love this pic, it makes me laugh
August...remember the Sweet & Spotty needle case? Have you made yours yet? August was the free download month for Stitcher's Angels (link on the right of the screen if you would like to print and make your own!)
In September I was in a sewing frenzy, playing with the shrinky stuff and tickling these toes.
October came and went fast. I showed you the little needlecase from "The Paris Collection" there was a special fairy party for the little munchkin and I was going pinwheel mad.....
While November was full of stitching and getting ready for market, 2 new patterns, some relaxation and (bunnyville) a sneek peek and what's to come in 2010
Then there was December with decorations, carrots a these sweet girls....
I wonder what adventures and inspiration will come in the next twelve months?
Til then,
Natalie xo
