Hello There...

I have taken nearly a year off from blogging. I'm not sure 100% why other than life got in the way and I didn't feel much like celebrating life or projects or general nonsense. 

So have I done anything at all this whole year?  Well, I made a quilt:

This is for Claire's bed. I made it larger than a twin size so it could upgrade to a larger size some day but also right now cover the fact I'm too lazy to make a bed skirt. 

I made a Halloween costume for Claire, too:

I made a full black dress out of jersey fabric. It was just a self done pattern based on a shirt of hers that I studied. But of course, for Claire, we still have to keep all the tulle makers in business so I made an over skirt of black and purple tulle. I also sewed tulle to her sleeves and her hat. I didn't make the hat, I just made it better. 

So those are my two severely crafty items that I can think of that you missed. I didn't use patterns or anything to share. Just my brain and a calculator. So that's not real exciting if you want to do it too, unless you're willing to hang out with me and borrow my brain for awhile.

 I plan on getting back into the blogging mode soon. I'm testing the waters. I miss writing. I do. I just don't know yet about celebration. That's what this was all about and right now I'm still hesitant to feel thrilled about the everyday. I'm trying though. This is my first step.
