Happy New Year





A new year. A new dress made from leftover fabric of one I made for myself. The servant dress designed by Lynne at Sugar City because she outgrew her white one.

Another version of the same dress made as a tunic.




The mark of my blog turning four years old.


A few resolutions:

Start reading books again... good thing I joined that book club last month to keep me on track.
Take better photographs.
Work harder on the garden this year and maybe try to grow a dye garden and lots more flowers.
Challenge myself in one new direction by learning a new skill. Undecided yet on which one but here a few I'd like to try:
Learn French. I think Japanese would be wonderful too. Learn to paint with watercolors. Take a flower arranging class. Learn ceramics.
Continue to exercise on a regular basis.
Go to at least 3 flea markets. I have been missing them like crazy the past few years.
Go on a vacation already! It's been almost 5 years people.

I would also love to re-do the den and build a patio but we will see.

Happy New Year.
