Well, a whole year is over. Weird. And I didn't really do much crafting.
I made a ton of bricks for an installation with Hooks and Needles in May. I made myself two pairs of socks, made a chameleon for my friend, my boyfriend a scarf, and a mountain of hedgehogs. That's really it.
It seems a little depressing, but I was doing other things! I finished grad school, wrote my graduate project on something that I knew absolutely nothing about (in 6 months!), worked two full-time jobs while doing this project (one that had 12-hour shifts), broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years, got a new boyfriend, moved to New Hampshire, and am starting my forever job on Monday. I may not have crafted a lot, but I've accomplished so much it's staggering.
2013 is going to be a fun year. I'm going to be working at a job I love, living with Dan, and volunteering. I can't wait. I have a lot of goals. I want to publish all the patterns that I have hanging around half finished, for one - there are so many papers and notes cluttering my things. I also want to get a grip on my yarn stash. I think that most of my projects this year will be from my stash.
Hope you have a happy new year, and all your resolutions work out!
Sounds like it was an important year. The wonderful thing about crafts is they wait for you. Other things won't.
ReplyDeleteYup, I'd say you accomplished quite a bit! Congratulations on weathering a tumultuous year, and Happy New Year!
