31.12.10

.a year in review

it's cliche, i know, but this year has passed
incredibly quickly.

hard to believe that this is the last day of 2010.

this has been the year my daughter turned one, my mom found the mad she's been looking for her whole like.
the year i lost my love for amigurumi and found a new love for granny chic.
the year my son turned four, graduated head start and started pre-k.
the year i discovered a love for podcasts, blogging and ravelry.
the year i ended a six year relationship.
my second year of college, my second year of crocheting.
the year i turned twenty and the year i became vegan.

this year has been an incredible year.
i feel so lucky to be in the position that i'm in: able to attend school online and spend these early years of my childrens' lives at home with them. there is nothing better.

and since this is a crochet blog, i'm going to share some of my favorite projects of
2010.

  3. What an eventful year you've had! Congrats for attending college, I wish you the best as you continue your studies. :) What field are you in?
    As for the crocheting... just... wow. I can't believe you have the ability to create so many amazing things with your own two hands! The scarves are gorgeous, as are the plush animals... I think the grape bubblegum fawn is my favorite. :D
    I look forward to staying and touch and seeing your future projects!

  10. Congrats on all of your happy and wonderful accomplishments over this past year. All of those projects of yours are adorable. I tried to pick a favorite but couldn't. I just started knitting myself and would love to be able to make something more than a wash cloth. Guess it takes time.

  12. Wow! Your projects are very impressive. I have always wanted to either knit or crochet, but I really don't know if I'd ever be able to produce anything good. Your projects are proof that someone can create good projects even if you're relatively new to the craft. -Hollychihuahua from Swap-Bot
