Goodbye 2013

I have been looking forward to this for such a long time. A year's round-up in pictures with all the items I have made in my first year of blogging.



This isn't of course everything I have made this year. For a start it doesn't include the 300 odd items I made for my Etsy shop customers, most of them personalised (I like to keep shop 'stuff' separate from blog projects so if you want to see all the hundreds of bunting, dolls, hats, bibs and various other items I have been making for clients, head over to the Facebook page where there is albums and albums full of pictures).

And to fully round up 2013, here is a quick peek at something I made for Alice in this final week of 2013 - a pair of crochet shoes (two pairs in fact, also in aqua). I will show you more photos soon.



To me this was the best part of 2013 though... Watching my kids grow up from babies into two delightful independent little people. It's hard to believe Alexander can now ride a bike and Alice is walking! My husband and I are so proud of them, and of the fact that somehow our little family not only survived this crazy year, but thrived, with lots of special memories.



Thank you so much for being part of my journey in 2013, my very first year of blogging, and I wish you all the very best in 2014. In the words of Allan Chalmers, may the new year bring you all "something to do, something to love, and something to hope for". And something to craft!



Happy new year dear friends!
