2011

Since I haven't posted in almost 3 months and I can't seem to find my word here is a little 2011 recap....


2011 was the year I re-discovered sewing. Since April I haven't finished quite a number of small project for both kids and the house. I hope this is a trend that will continue to grow. With the addition of a serger I can now finish my project and they look so nice! I have a few focus this year around sewing... Finish a project before starting a new one, which means I haven't been able to start an envelope long sleeve tee for my son because I have to readjust the length of a pair of his pants and finish a dress I just started.
Buy Fabric when needed.... So I'm very visual and I want to buy every yard of fabric I like.... I'm forcing myself to make the stash of fabric go down before ordering anything new.
This year I'd like to learn more techniques and to be neater in my pattern drafting and such....

2011 was also the year I finished some projects around the house... the "finish a project before starting a new one" rule applies for any craft project around the house.

2011 we started CSA and for the past 3 months I have never seen that many beets in my entire life! I have discovered Kale and this has forced us to eat more veggetables and fruits.

2011 is also the year I decided to stop training with my coach. I'm still struggling in finding my balance but next year will be a running year and a bit of biking. I also have to start mountain biking a bit more on my own and build up my confidence so I can go to the next level.

I'm probably forgetting a lot but here is to 2012....
