Before I reach the end of January and become too entrenched in the excitements and challenges of a whole new year ahead I’ve taken a little bit of time to reflect on my past year’s worth of blog posts. It’s been a wonderful trip down memory lane.
More than once I’ve found myself thinking ‘Gosh! was that really only last year?’. Looking through the posts it often felt like I’d packed so much in that the things coming up in my 2016 news feed seem more like distant memories rather than recent events (recent on a geological time scale at least!). Picking out nine photos from each month has been a meditative and thoughtful task. I love how it crystallizes in my mind the achievements from last year and also serves to focus my energies on the things I intend to do this year.
I hope you enjoy this abridged and truncated journey into 2016’s best of the bunch creative moments! If any of the pictures intrigue you enough to want to know more, click on the montage and it will take you to a page with that month’s blog posts on so you can read the stories behind the images.

It’s so odd how time seems to speed up and then stretch out sometimes! Here’s to a great 2017 with plenty more cats and yarn in it!

Love this site especially your trusty helpers always keeping watch and testing your projects as they progress. Your washi tape has captured my eye as I have been using it to make coasters for my friends and you have given me ideas I can use, would never have thought about doing the lap top, thank you. I look forward to all your projects this year too!!!

Thanks Kaza, it’s great to have you along for the ride 🙂
I am still loving washi tape though of course my obsession means I buy much more than I can use… I’m sure it will come in handy one day!

Thank you! I hope you are enjoying your new hobby. I really haven’t stopped crocheting since I taught myself the basics about five years ago. Be warned – it’s thoroughly addictive!

I have discovered the addictive nature, I have trouble sometimes deciding what to make next, and find myself with a few works in progress at the same time.
