So, how’s your ‘in-between’ week been so far?
I’m still chillin’ in my hammock. . . looking up at the sky and daydreaming. There was a little hiccup yesterday when our old hammock. . . which was a bit worse for wear, finally surrendered, ripped away from the support ropes and collapsed. Thankfully, it was hanging down low and the only thing hurt was my dignity. After a quick look around to see if any neighbours had witnessed my humiliation, I decided to move the relaxing indoors for a nana nap. . . as you do on holidays. Later on I ventured outside to find that my lovely hubby had slipped away during naptime and purchased a new hammock. Ahhh. . . this is the life. . . holidays!
Hmmm, just between you and me . . . I’ve enjoyed the first four days of holidays . . . I’m all relaxed. . . but now my mind has now turned to all things creative. I promised myself I’d stay out of the studio and have a complete break, but I’m itching to get back in there already. So today I’m reflecting on the year that was and taking a little wander back through my bog posts. Here’s a little of what I did in the first 6 months of the year. . .
I started 2011 with a studio clean up and a new diary cover.
I harvested my own lavender for lavender sachets.
Then in Autumn I released a new collection of patterns, incorporating new mediums and techniques. . . like the pencil rendered face of Willow.
There was of course Bunnies for Easter. . .
. . .and some Tilda bunny magic added to our tea making in the studio.
The Fabric Flatties were a big hit too.
April saw a big swing towards all things French inspired.
This Vintage Sewing Box tutorial was fun and proved to be my most popular post ever!
Plus I shared with you my thrifting adventures and all my handmade, up-cycled, and repurposed vintage creations.
Throw in some recipes and my general observations of the world and that about covers the first 6 months of 2011.
It’s good to look back occasionally. . . to see where we’ve been and what we’ve done. . . it helps formulate where we might like our adventures to take us next.
I’ll be back soon with a wrap up of the rest of 2011.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
