That is it for 2011

As the Little Man and DH read I thought I would reflect on this year. Note the quilt - I know it looks well used. My mum made it well before I was born. It is being loved and used. I prefer that than alone in a cupboard collecting dust. I love it - each piece of reused fabric reminds my sisters and mum of clothes and items mum made when they were little... She rarely crafts now. Such a shame.




We have had a great 2011 here.

* I reconnected with some old friends
* The front is officially a food patch. Lets hope it stays that way! I need to weed it (again).
* Abby joined the family.
* The Little Man has GROWN and developed and still has us all wrapped around his finger (well I like to think not me...)
*DH patent has been approved.
* Both older boys have had such a successful and fun filled year.

In 2012 I would like to achieve the following... in no order

* Welcome and enjoy having three chooky ladies!
* Finish three quilts (all here ready to go!)
* Make a Christmas Tree skirt
* Make the middle boy a Shepard's Bush stocking
* Enjoy the Little Man even more!
* Have a productive veggie patch
* Work out some way of bring more calm and peace in this household!

Hope you all can look back at 2011 with positive feeling and are looking forward to 2012! I am - though hesitant as I don't know what will happen (control freak in me) but I can see some exciting things in the horizon.

Dearest Sarah, I am sure that you will achieve your goals for 2012 because you are such a focused person. I love to set myself goals but at present can't even think of whats happening day to day although I have one goal which I really want to achieve and that is to meet you in March. Fingers crossed and may everything be aligned for it to actually happen.
Happy New Year hun. xxxox

I think 2012 will be great! I love your goals. All achievable and worthwhile too! Not sure if I will get close to growing any food next year. We'll see.

Sarah, they sound like great goals for the new year...not sure I can always "enjoy" the teenager but I'll join you and give it a shot.
