2008 was a year of dolls


a year of dolls
Originally uploaded by imagingermonkey

so this is it, the end of 2008 and on we go to 2009.

I've had a great year, it's been a whole lot fun. I tried quilting for the first time, and got hooked. Next year I intend to master the actual quilting part of it, not just the patchworky bit...I've got a long way to go.
I also intend to get busting my fabric stash. Although a FQ swap might be a way of mixing it up a bit, if anyone's interested?

Have a great night tonight, whatever you're doing. We have friends round, I have to make the beds first, I've cleaned the house, even got rid of the balls of fluff that were growing behind the doors, and under the sofa. Nice.

Shall I see you next year? I hope so, I really like having you around.

Just LOOK at all of those sweet dolls! I had no idea that you made so many this year.

Just so you know that over here on the far side of NY's Eve 2009 is going great guns!



oooo! Fat Quarter swap sounds like fun!

Leah said...

I know how you feel with regard to "fluff" - I've been ridding my house of it too today as we have family staying over.

I too have caught the quilting bug and have plans to finally turn some of my stash into something useful and lovely!!

DD takes "Little Evie" to bed everynight - and she even came to Egypt with us in the Summer.

I wish you and your clan health, wealth and happiness in 2009.

Gosh, don't they look beautiful all together in that mosaic? So readily identifiable as 'yours' too. Hey - you have an artistic 'signature'!

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. Hope it's a great one for you all.
