Happy New Year!

December 31, 2009

A few highlights from my studio this year. 

Blog mosaic

I have had a really interesting, exciting crafting year. I've sewn nearly every day and that has been a true joy.  And I wrote a book this year (and I can't wait to see it come together and become available in 2010). I have so many ideas waiting to come to life in the year to come, and I have so many new things  to learn. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement and, most importantly, the inspiration you give me as I look at the incredible work so many of you produce.  And thank you, mostly, for checking in with me as the days and weeks and months of lives go by. 

So here's to a happy, creative new year!
