So many things, so many plans...I hope you had wonderful Holidays and happy celebrations for New Year. We're still having a good time as long as we don't remember that on Monday everybody goes back to school and to work. As always, the New Year brings in tons of hope and wishes to get better at so many things. In my case, I want to get better at taking pictures.I have gotten so much encouragement from my husband. For the last couple of years he's gotten me all the equipment I need, I just can't let him and myself down. I do love taking pictures but I definitely need to learn so much more about it. The picture I'm posting today is a self portrait. Well, sort of. I asked my big girl to push the button when I was ready. It's part of a good exercise inspired by The Sometimes Crafter.I'm so not into having my picture taken. I really dislike it, but it's time I do some justice to my picture disaster history and make something the fairies will someday think it's worth to hang in their family picture wall. A little bit dramatic but it's true. The sweater I'm wearing was knitted by my mother in law specially for me. I like it so much, it's a piece of wardrobe I can easily wear all winter long. This is just the beginning of a long list of things I want to make this year. Craft-wise I signed up for the block swap, the three by six quilt sampler, and the hoop up, stitch, and send swap. Quilt around the world is still going... So we'll see, I'll take it one step a the time and let's see what this year has in store for my family and me. What about you? What are your plans??
Happy New Year and thanks for the reminder of the PIF! I'm so excited about my people, I had forgotten I had signed up too!
I love reading your blog...I have three boys and it's so neat to hear about what you and your girls are doing!
The sweater is beautiful! And the picture is very evocative. Like it should be in a magazine. I'll be following to see what other self portraits you take through the year!
