Best of 2019

As we start a new decade, I wanted to reflect on the past year. Although I work full time, I have tried to spend more time being creative and getting a work/life balance. I will need to work on this some more in 2020.

These were my top nine projects on instagram during 2019 (based on likes and comments):

Row 1:

• Heart of the Home Mini Quilt (Pattern available in Etsy store)
• Handy Drawstring Pouch (Pattern available in Etsy store)
• Patchwork Handy Drawstring Bag (Pattern available in Etsy store)

Row 2:

Row 3:

I wanted to share a few photos of our Christmas tree and Christmas table. This year we had a low key Christmas. My youngest daughter finally got the pink tree she has always wanted.

Our Christmas table was pink and red. I used my Silhouette Portrait to cut gold vinyl names to personalise the wine glasses at each place setting. We had little chocolate bears instead of Christmas crackers this year.

I would like to thank you for following along in our crafting and sewing adventures during 2019. From my family to yours, I hope that 2020 is filled with good health, happiness, and endless creativity.
