Happy

The rain outside cannot dampen my new year glow as I look back on projects completed in 2009. Some were small, few large, but all were a joy to make. Many were inspired by work I had seen online on other creative women's blogs, some were free patterns made available by very generous creative women that I discovered at Sew Mama Sew (photos 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 11 & 13 below). If you like what you see in photos 10 & 12, there are free tutorials in my side bar for those projects. I don't have photos of absolutely everything I've made...sometimes things get mailed away or gifted, or donated before I take a picture. I know, I know. But you also know how last minute these things can get!!

So, here's a little creative eye candy...a sampling of some 2009 projects by Poppyprint:

January 1, 2010: today, instead of skiing in the rain, we will continue our holiday mode of relaxation. I may take a stitch, or two....in the meantime, I wish you all a very
