IT'S ME! I'm the WINNER! 2012 was a beast. Mostly the cute and cuddly kind but occasionally the barbed, spiky kind. Now I'm really looking forward to a creative, peaceful 2013 and lots of time spent with my little people, the sewing machine and the blog. Still, like last year's review, when the projects gather together all pretty like this, it does appear some sewing has taken place. Just not between August and October...ahem. 
As you can probably tell, my sewing time is a fight between sewing for the bruisers and a very wearable wardrobe for myself. And I'm aware that some of you are here for the boys and some for the adult stuff so hopefully there's been some balance. I have to say, one of the perks of 2012 was landing a job at a fabric shop that only sells apparel fabrics, beautiful and well priced at that, and no home furnishings to wade through. Combine that with a healthy staff discount and you can see why plotting and planning my hand-made wardrobe might be stealing my attention. 
Still, the boys did not do so badly...
Actually I think they may have won out, due to a couple of Kids Clothing Week Challenges...
...a couple of guest posts....
...and their mother's unquenchable thirst for re-fashioning thrift store T-shirts...
Well, that's 2012, I should probably go clean my kitchen now.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas from the circus!
I feel you on the inconsistent blogging. I have been awful lately! :) But I say quality over quantity, and everything you do is definitely quality. Love your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteWho cares about timeline consistency?! Sporadic yet fabulous wins over regular yet bland any day... Give yourself a pat on the back for originality, repurposing fabric, and not exploiting your offspring for advertising dollars!
ReplyDeleteWell, you know there's more important things in life, but I do get a little thrill when you're blog pops up in my reader. Love the things you make for yourself. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Sophie - have a good one x
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job in 2012! Love all those outfits!
ReplyDeleteAll those outfits are just amazing. Your miz mozelle dress is just beautiful and makes me want to make one.
ReplyDeleteI too get a thrill when your blog updates pop up - you have a beautiful style - the bird dress is my favourite! Here's to a wonderful 2013!
