Vera appliqué

This week just flew by. I have to say that there really wasn't any time for being creative. Luckily I have a project from a few weeks back that I can share. Hopefully this will inspire me and put me back on a creative path.

For My Niece

I decided to get creative with my niece's birthday present. I let her pick out the fabric and the pattern. She picked a really cute jumper and pink fabric. I think she did a great job. I can't wait to see it on her. I'm sending it off in the mail on Monday.

New Beginnings

I found this little sprout in my flower box the other day. I like the timing of its arrival. New beginnings for the New Year. Although my blog is still very new I am excited to see where it takes me. I'm also looking forward to the year ahead. I hope this year continues to bring me the inspiration and drive that it has already given me.

Happy New Year!

With high hopes for the year to come my heart is heavy as I say goodbye to 2010. In some ways I can’t believe that an entire year has gone by but at the same time we went through so many changes that our life has transformed into something so new. It feels like the life we had at the beginning of 2010 is so far away. We said goodbye to several friends. Some went not so far away and some moved too far away. Either way we still miss being able to just walk over and knock on the door. I wish them well in their new adventures in Orlando, Gainesville, Parma Heights (Ohio), Chicago and Guantanamo Bay. We also sold our little one bedroom condo. It was our first place together. We adopted a little black pug named Vera. We thought Prada needed a friend since so many of her friends had also moved. Sadly they didn’t get the chance to become good friends. We buried Prada on October 24th and have missed her every day since. I’ve done a lot of thinking and planning over the past year. At the beginning of 2010 I guess you could say I was a little lost. Though it felt like a long process I started a journal and wrote a lot, read, researched and finally decided what I want to do with my life. I think 2011 is going to be the year of action where I can finally set things in motion.
