Where has 2012 gone??

Where has this year gone?? 2012 has been a whirlwind of contract jobs and trying for a baby (yay!) and all of a sudden I have realised that it is November and I haven't put up a single post to show everyone my crafting successes over the year and also to announce that we are expecting our second son in February 2013!

Having recently completed a Mum Blogger E-course courtesy of Littlemummy.com I plan to be much more proactive with my blogging and look forward to chatting with you all lots more in the coming weeks (especially when my contract ends and I can enjoy an extended maternity leave!)

So here are just a few of my lovely little projects that I have completed this year:


I was given a lovely hamper of crafting gifts and vouchers when I left my part time job at Volvo and I bought some beautiful fat quarters with floral print from hobbycraft with the intention of making bunting for the garden.

On account of the dismal British Summertime that we experienced I thought I would bring the outdoors indoors and used the fat quarters to make two sided rectangular cushions for my leather sofa!




I was tasked with overseeing the decor for the ladies Blessed event at Renewal Christian Centre in the Summer.

'So Blessed So California' was the first event I have ever managed decor for and I made (amongst many other things!) some lovely curtains to dress our stage with. They were very simple and tied with blue organza but I loved spending an afternoon with just me and my vintage sewing machine putting them together!

I bought some lovely wool and am in the process of making a crochet stripy blanket for our new baby!


Aaron and the baby will share a room eventually so we have decorated their room with a nautical theme in red white and blue, and the blanket will be cot size with blue, grey, white and red stripes. I am really enjoying making it but am not following a set pattern as such, just repeating the double crochet stitch over and over!

More projects to follow but thats all for now!

Lots of love R xx
