Whether you are freezing in the Northern Hemisphere
or toasting in the Southern Hemisphere
New Year is a time for:
new dreams, hopes, aspirations and resolutions!
I hope half of your dreams come true,
some of your resolutions too
as well as lots of your aspirations
and inspirations for your much loved friends, family
and creativity.
I read these beautiful words on Judy's blog today
which I thought was so very special and wanted
to share them with you.
"If we lit a candle for each person who loved us
and helped us along the way
we would be astonished by the number"!
(we would probably be blown away!!!).

Already for me a dream has been fulfilled this past year
where I am published in the Winter edition of
Crazy Quilt Gatherings Magazine
Pat Winter, Editor, from
wwwgatherings100.com
(You really do need to go and check out this
really beautiful magazine!)
Oh my goodness my article on a Fabric Garden Journal
was spread over four whole pages!
thanks to our kind-hearted Pat!
Pat did such an amazing job with the layout using
embroidery and lace
to enhance the images!
And none of this would have been possible had I not established my blog some two years ago to expand
my knowledge by opening up my heart and mind
to connect with like minded souls
to share my creativity
with others.
Now you too can have this opportunity
by availing yourself of the most generous offer by
the likes of Vicki who really does have the interests
of bloggers at heart always trying to look after
the needs of others through her many causes
by organizing a party to help grow your blog.
The aim is to bring new people to your little part of the world
to showcase whatever your passion/ art/ craft/ collection/ Etsy shop
etc. may be that you wish to share with
the rest of the blog world.
This party will take place on Sat. January 19th
by clicking here to see the list of all the
blogs taking part in this
and
by leaving a comment here you will be entered into
My Giveaway.

Thought I might just share this new collage which I
have created for my dear friend Andrea.
Andrea presented me with this
very beautiful photo of
her grandmother, Pearl
Pearl is on the right of this image!
In my usual style of using all things vintage
combined with layers and layers
of cotton, lace and tattered doilies
combining some burlap webbing, vintage
button, and string
This was the result!
I decided I would use this photo
and return it to her in the form of a collage
for her Birthday in December.
So with our New Year of 2013 I'm wishing you
good health,
a giving heart
and the continued gift of good judgement!
I have a number of new projects to show you soon
including the completion of another Fabric Book
so
if you come along with me on my journey into 2013
you may see some more creations which
I hope will appeal!
Thank you heaps for all of your lovely comments
you left me also throughout the past 12 months -
it is appreciated!
