Happy New Year!

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Did you all do something fun or did you do what we did? - veg out trying to finish off alcohol and chocolate in order to start 2010 the right way! Unfortunately I couldn't make it to midnight and fell asleep, however we were woken up at 3.45 am with the phone ringing - a text message saying 'I've drunk too much champagne, but looking forward to drinking more in 2010' (or words to that effect). Not sure who it was, but we did see the funny side to it.

I can't believe we are here at the beginning of another year. As much as I feel sad Christmas is over, I do welcome January in as much as I look forward to a new calendar!, getting stuck into new projects, a vase full of flowers once the decorations have been put away, and generally having a good sort out.

Speaking of projects - this one is still on the go - and yes it's for 8+ but it's got to be basic for me to get my head round crochet!



I know I posted about it earlier in 2009, but it got put on the back burner due to work commitments. As a rule I don't make New Year's resolutions as the disappointment of not sustaining them is too great! However, my crochet is one I'm determined to get under my belt - wish me luck. I'll probably be posting about still trying to learn in 2011!

At this time of year, I like getting creative and during the Christmas break started and finished! a couple of projects which I'll share with you next week.

In the meantime, enjoy the start of the year, have a fantastic weekend ready for the onslaught of the routine again next week!

Have a wonderful 2010. I want to learn to crochet too, so good luck to you and looking forward to seeing the results (which I'm sure will be sooner than you think). xx

Hi Sarah, thanks for stopping by my blog, and Happy New Year to you. Sounds like you had a great Christmas and New Year - we did just the same - I think once you've got kids the urge to go out at New Year sort of slips away - too exhausted after Christmas, I didn't make it to midnight this year either. I'd love to learn to crochet too - I wanted to try to learn last year, but never found the time, so I will watch your progress with interest and hope to pick up a few tips along the way!x

Dawn said...

Good luck with the crochet - I've been trying to learn off and on for months.
Must try harder!

One of my 2009 resolutions was the crochet one. I didn't manage either! Looks as though you're doing brilliantly in 2010 already.

Happy New Year! Here's to a great one.

I picked myself up one of these today. I've spent two weeks trying to figure out instructions in How To books from the library, but they just lose me. I am hoping that something aimed at 8 year olds will light up the path to crochet for me.
