2009 the year that was

I've seen this on a few blogs so I thought I'd do a recap of the year.

January
Saw the arrival of a beautiful quilt from my lovely friend Helen

February
Seemed to be bag month and quite a few were made, my favourite was this one

March
Was all about Mathildas Market and making, making, making in preparation.
April
In April an idea grew for a swap and lots of ou lovely bloggers decided it was a good idea and I think from memory about 40 signed up

May
Also seemed to be swap month. I participated in the Sheridan's Vintage Sheet Swap and the kids were in the Kids Mail Swap over at Pigeon Pair. I was also besieged with packages for the 10 items swap.

June

June was a busy month. The first Crafty Weekend away, Swap goodies all posted out around the country, plenty of sewing and the first Sunday Craft Room



July
3 years of blogging

August
The highlight of August was definitely the Stitches and Craft show. I lent a hand to Fi and Justine (while she battled a dodgy stomach), caught up with Nicole, Cathy & Louise, Belinda and finally got to meet some wonderful bloggers I'd been dying to meet for ages.


September
I participated in the Handmade Kids Challenge, did a market at school for Pink Ribbon Day and had another Crafty Weekend away.

October
October was all about preparing for the next Mathildas Market

November
The 1st saw the last Mathildas Market for the year. The rest of the month was turned over to buying fabric, Lucy's birthday and preparing for Christmas

December
Finally the year was over and of course it was all about Christmas and the kids.
Thanks so much for reading my blog throughout 2009. I don't know what 2010 will hold although it will involve getting fit, hopefully. I'm feeling in a bit of a rut about sewing to sell at the moment and am thoroughly enjoying just sewing for pleasure. I'm not sure what that will mean for me but I will still definitely be sewing and crafting through 2010.
