Does anyone else like to indulge in ridiculous head games? Lately, I've been looking back through 2011 with my should'a, would'a, could'a goggles on. So, as a little feel-good exercise, I decided to make a collage using 'collage' (funnily enough) on Picnik. And seeing it all like this...turns out I haven't been sitting on my butt all year. Step away from the whip.
This was a great way to finish the year on a good note, kind of like hanging kindy art on the wall again. I can't recommend this enough, if you've been doing some sewing / crafting this year and could do with a little self-nurturing!
As for you, Mr. to do list ...
- Re-vamp an old chair CHECK
- Make / thrift clothes CHECK. Lots of thrifting. Making clothes takes forever.
- Hand-make and buy handmade gifts No
- Become unimaginably FAB at sewing Progress
- Buy my fruit / veg at the markets CHECK
- Turn an old suit-case into a retro picnic set Nice in theory
- Get a fringe CHECK
- Start a 'dress-up' box CHECK
- Make our rented town-house a home sewing nook taking shape, priorities people...
- Make brownies and rice-paper rolls mmm CHECK and CHECK
How about you...did 2011 meet expectations?
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. An exciting 2012 awaits...
the collage is a great idea! I just might do one to get a bird's eye view of what the hell I've been doing all year
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Sophie. Have a lovely one. Mrs B x

ReplyDeleteWow! You should be proud!

Fantastic year Soph, I'm really impressed with your gumption. How many people have the follow-through for one resolution, let-alone the six hundred that you did.
ReplyDeleteAnd you did hand-make a gift. Remember the hat you made Squeaker? So at least take a partial-credit on that list item.
I'm also impressed with your blog (so you should also claim partial-credit for the founding of my blog).
Nice work, Ringmistress.
You've got some serious TALENT! Seriously!!!
