So its New Years Eve agghh, where did 2011 go? There are less than three hours left in this year and I'm a little bit sad about it :( 2011 has been a great year for us, we got our first grand baby, we purchased land and have designed our dream house (to be built early 2012) to go on it, we have watched our little baby grow into a lovely little boy, I have learned a wonderful new craft, that I am totally taken by and I found blogging and have just been amazed by how many creative, talented, generous people there are out there! So if you are one of those wonderful, generous people who take the time to share their projects and skills with others THANK YOU so very much. Now enough of the reminiscing and (glasses raised) here's to a fabulous 2012!
Getting to the title.... I am participating in another challenge hosed by the clever lasses Keren and Rikka over at
sew la vie and
ricochet and away. This time around its the Naughty Notions Challenge, if you click on sew la vie it will take you straight there and you can read all about it or even sign up if your game!!!!
So getting ready for the big challenge, I had a little practice today using this tutorial
alifosterpatterns - clutch pattern and I am so happy how it turned out. I obviously has no notions but as I said its just a practice and the challenge doesn't even start until tomorrow!
Happy New Year to you all x
