Something New

I have been working to come up with a new product, one that is not quite so seasonal-but still works with what I have been doing. So I am expanding the hat pattern into a purse or clutch pattern. A few proto types have come through, but the above pairing feels the most successful so far. I have always liked the idea of a hat and bag match-though I have never actually had one.

I am also playing with the idea of some granny pattern change purses. Still working on construction and hardware-but I have to say I am having fun with these new patterns. I have a bunch of ideas in my head-and wish I just had all the time to see them through! Hopefully more to come soon!

Belated Xmas Post

This weekend we took down our tree, our cards, our lights, and I finally downloaded our photos. We didn't take too many, I think we were having too much fun since this is the first time Amira has really understood "presents"-Santa, and has had the ability to open gifts herself.

And now we start 2012, looking back on my 2011 goals, I had some successes. I fell down with making more foods from scratch, and never made any humus. But I did see my friends with more frequency then in the past. Amira is using the potty to some extent, but I think "school" can take more credit with that then me and daddy. I went further with my "crafting", but made fewer entries in this blog. Amira talks to us all the time-the strides she has made are unbelievable. 2012 is gearing up to be a year of big changes for our family-can't wait to tackle them all-I don't feel the need to add any more goals to my plate right now:)
