2011 was the year of...

2011 was the year...I rejuvenated my blog. It has been a fun, thought provoking and amazing link with fellow bloggers (especially in the stitching community). I have also found soooo much more to stitch. Just when I thought I had enough stitching I keep finding new patterns and new designers to stitch thanks to you guys!  I am forever holding myself back from my credit card.

2011 was the year...of the Marjolein Bastin cross stitch need I say more.


2011 was the year...of my veggie patch.  I have well and truly halved the weekly vegetable bill with my little patch. It has been more than I ever hoped for. I get a little tug at my heart strings when I see my children forage among it to each a fresh snow pea or pull up a carrot.


2011 was the year ...Tom turned into a toddler.  Tom has been a constant source of entertainment in our house for the kids, hubby and I. He has given me eyes in the back of my head I never knew were there. Every moment he is awake I am wondering "what is he up to now?" But I relish his large grins, cheeky dimples and infectious giggle.


2011 was the year...my older children matured into beautiful beings.  I am so proud of their hard work at school, their lovely friendships they have created and their kind nature as a loving sibling to Tom.

2011 was the year....of Bob. A cute bundle of fluff to love.


Happy 2012 to all! Thank you so much for dropping on by during 2011.

Hi, firstly wow what a lovely family you have and I am sure they keep you busy and what a busy year it looks like you had. Secondly thank you for your lovely comments you left for me, it is always such a nice feeling when one gets them. And thirdly:-) I am going to stitch SK Forbidden Doorway on 20 count, more out of need to, as my eyes hurt when I try work on 28 count and I can't get 25 count although I am sure my eyes would hurt on that one too.

Thank you for sharing about all that has meaning in your life, especially your beautiful children.

I always loved my little garden in the summertime, and when our children were growing up, they too loved seeing all of the veggies that grew for us to enjoy eating.

Your Marjorie B. piece is so lovely and appropriate for your love of the outdoors and gardening.
