New Beginnings.......and Forget-Me-Nots.......

Well hello there......

A New Year

New Beginnings

But first.......

Forget-Me-Nots....

♡♡♡

Christmas left me with a heavy heart, having learnt of the sudden loss of the beautifully talented, Vanessa Cabban.

I know it has been mentioned on many blogs and instagram, and the shock and sadness has been felt deeply in the crafting world.

Vanessa's was one of the first blogs I came across, when I stumbled into this wonderful blogging world. I can still remember vividly, the energy and enthusiasm I felt when I devoured all her posts. I felt utterly inspired, both by her love of colour, and her enthusiasm for crafting. Actually I was just UTTERLY in awe of her, in just about every way.

I feel intensely sad that this big hole has been left in the crafting community; and I cannot imagine the loss that is being felt by her loved ones..........but through all of us who have been so influenced by her, I'm sure we can keep her light shining bright.

So, Vanessa....be at peace sweet Butterfly. 

A true inspiration to so many of us. 

You will be so terribly missed.

A year has finished. A new one has begun. Christmas was a little weird, but actually, in my own little clan it was really good.

I do like this time of year though. Slight reflection, yet, enthusiasm for a new slate to be written.

Weight was lost before christmas, but gained over christmas. So running shoes were bought. My oh my. Let's see how that one goes.

Okay.......So I searched the archives......to remind myself what I have achieved in 2014. 

If I think about the last year, it seems to have been a year that was taken up with more the mundane, than the creative. So, it was nice to see that a few things WERE actually made.

Here we go......a post crammed with the years makes and pics of my ordinary.......

Makes.....

Well.....actually a decent amount was made. I have surprised myself. I really didn't think 2014 was a year where I achieved much in the crafting world.

Now for colour......

It was bright and colourful......

It was also pastel and calm.......

And for the rest to sum up the year.......

So there we have it.

Happy New Year, and I hope 2015 is all that you want it to be......and more......

P.s. Apologies for the photo heavy post. I know I should have been less lazy and condensed into mosaics, but I'm saving all my energies for my running shoes!
