I went to many craft/fibery events like Maryland Sheep and Wool, Stitches East, a festival at the Textile Museum, a spinning event at the Mannings, I saw the YarnHarlot herself speak, and I went to Crafty Bastards in DC.
I got a spinning wheel, Sarah taught me to sew, made three quilts, knit my first sweater, knit my first lace shawl and learned to dye yarn from the master herself. I traveled to many places like Cancun, Key West, Jamaica, Cozumel, Cayman Islands, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Cape Cod, camping and Wisconsin (for a family reunion). John and I learned how to live with cancer, we made some new friends, lost some loved ones and saw the births of many new babies. Most recently - my dear friend Jolene's new son Joe!
Happy birthday Joe!
What a great way to end the year. :)
I also had a birthday (yesterday) and now I'm 32! Time flies!
As a sort of tribute to this year - I put together a mosaic of most of my knitting that was completed in 2007.
And most of my sewing projects that were completed in 2007. I even got one mentioned in Craft Magazine (woohoo!)
It's been a great ride - I can't wait to see what 2008 brings!
Happy New Year everyone!
