dreams and wip for 2015

 Well now before January has totally slipped by

thought I should share my hopes for this year.

My list of 'want to make' is somewhat short especially as I already have one 

under the belt!

However projects like the one below

just creep on in.

 This flying geese project is just a few hours old.

Flying geese are very much on my radar for 2015

they are such a joy to make,

and when kind friends send you beautiful fabrics

its so easy to set off on a new journey!

 I'm quite in love with the idea of marrying up 

the vintage sheets from AdaBea with the beautiful *Molly Hatch fabric

that Mary sent me.

*Ask Mary aka MollyFlanders for availability.

2015 projects

1 flying geese curtains for my sewing room (above)

2 epp red and white star Christmas quilt

3 plaid and denim flying geese quilt

WIP

1 Irish chain (top completed last week!)

2 Orphan block 

3 Liberty clamshell

Quite a neat little list really,

though I'm sure there will be more added!

On a personal front I'm hoping for a less anxiety filled year,

for this I am learning to run

which I have found wonderful for my mind

and for positive thinking!

Looking forward now to cracking on with it all

Thanks for your enduring generosity.

An overdue thankyou!

 I have been thoroughly spoilt this winter,

words fail me...the generosity of online folk is astounding!

I do of course participate in the giving...

but always feel like I get way more in return!!

So a big thank you to..

 Mary aka MollyFlanders

 Susan aka Patchwork n Play

 and AdaBea aka VintageSheetAddict

I really cant thank you ladies enough

you spoil me xxx

optimism and a new year

 Hello dear readers and a happy new year!

Its been a while hasn't it?

I've been lost in the world of instagram,

which I know annoys some,

so I shall try to stop by here at least once a week.

To be truthful I needed a break from the blog,

I do find blogging sucks up so much of my time,

and with instagram I can find more time to be creative

with a needle and less keyboard action.

I feel 2015 is a year for optimism,

I've languished too long in the land of 'what ifs'.

So less self deprecation

and a little more unashamed cheering!
