ANOTHER YEAR OVER......and what have we done!.....

Well, quite a bit really and so in the time honoured fashion of the best review shows, here is my 2010 in brief........

There was lots of crafting.......


Lots of exploring.....


Bonding with nature........


and enjoying our picture postcard winter...(of course we didn't get stranded, cut off or starved, so our view of it was through rose tinted, if frozen specs!)


 and finally we finished it off with a traditional, cosy family Christmas for which I am very grateful as well as very fortunate to have had.....


and so to 2011....

I have loads of projects planned...decorating and renovating parts of this tumbledown pile....making new curtains and cushions....making new stock for my folksy shop, including a new range of satin slippers for tiny bridesmaids and christenings (photos to follow soon)....

and all this on top of a birth..... (our second grandchild due at the end of May), a family wedding, two trips already booked, one to a log cabin in Northumberland and one to France, so as you can guess my year will certainly not be boring, in fact I may need next year off to recover!!  

Seriously for a minute though, I know how lucky I am, my life, my wonderful family and all my friends and I do say thank you every day that I am so blessed.

I hope you too will all be blessed in 2011 and that your hearts and lives will be filled with love and happiness.

  3. how lovely your year looks, grouped like this.

    I started to do my own review but got slightly annoyed by how much more I had wanted to do, which I know is a VERY bad way to look at it!

    Where do the years go? I looked at our little cat on NYE and realsied she came to us Millenium year, and now she's getting old- surely the years never used to fly past quite this quickly?

    Looking forward to what this coming year will bring and wishing you a wonderful time with all your plans

  15. I LOVE all of your collages, Jenny! I so enjoyed seeing all of the places you visited during 2010, since I don't do much traveling myself. :) Your home looked just beautiful decked out for the holidays! Your fireplaces are amazing! It sounds like you have another very full year ahead of you... congratulations on your second grandchild! :)
    Have a wonderful weekend!
    xoxo,

  23. Hi, followed you here from a comment elsewhere. Love your stitching and will go checkout your store, I would love a Brit flag item.

    I made a similar post myself today, it's nice to look back and reflect on what a year brought, sometimes more than we think.
