Hey Chickadees! I’m back! Christmas is over and the new year is upon us. This year, especially December, has not been as productive as I would have liked. Let’s start with December. Sadly, I did not do any sewing for Christmas presents that I had originally intended. Although, I do have a very very very good reason, being that my Etsy shop stayed pretty busy! I have sold 2 full felt food sets, 2 breakfast felt sets, and 1 felt fruit set. I also had a friend request a partial food set as a gift for someone else. Knitting wise I did have a custom order for a hat and scarf set. This was my very first hat and it turned out great. Unfortunately, I didn’t even think to take pictures. All this is well and good but the biggest news this month, and actually all year, is that I sold the 2 scarves pictured that are going to be used for an episode of ABC’s show The Middle!!!! The episode will air January 18th. If you are not familiar with the show it stars Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) and Neil Flynn (Scrubs) and it is about a struggling middle-class family in a fictional Indiana town. I just started watching it and it is quite funny.
As you can see, my December has been quite packed. Can you forgive me for not having any pictures to show of cool sewing projects? I did manage to fit in making 4 tie blankets for presents this month. That used a total of 19 yards of fleece. I only purchased 5 yards this month, which was last minute fleece for a last minute blanket.

2011 Goals:
Well not much has changed with my goals since I did my half year review. To be honest, I am okay with that! This past year has been kinda busy with life things. I am working on some new goals for 2012 that I hope to get posted tomorrow. They are going to be different from past goals so that I can better achieve them and make some room for major life changes! More on that tomorrow though! I plan on spending tomorrow and Monday cleaning the sewing room as it currently looks like a tornado swept on through.
