2011 in Review: Top 10 Posts

December 28, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 14 Comments

It is hard to believe that there is only a few days of 2011 left before we welcome the new year. Sarah and I started this blog nearly 4 years ago and we are so proud of how it has developed over that time. I think 2011 has been our best year to date – we have really enjoyed sharing lots of tutorials, projects, recipes, and giveaways with you. We continue to be delighted with the wonderful comments and support that you give back to us.

In case you missed them, our top 10 posts of 2011 in order to popularity are:

1.  Tutorial: Gathered Round Basket

2. Winter Warmers
3. Fabric Gift Pouch
4. Pattern Weights
5. Homemade Christmas Ornaments
6. Homemade Japanese Washi Tape
7. Tutorial: For the Closet or Wardrobe
8. Mini Gift Bag
9. Red and Aqua Take 4
10. Red and Aqua
It was fun to check on google analytics to see which posts were most popular in terms of traffic this year. 
If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see here in 2012, please leave us a note in the comments.
