I feel like the New Year sprang up on me so fast, I didn’t really get a lot of time to write any good New Year’s Resolutions. I did, however, manage a list of ideas and things I’d like to try this year.

Maybe this little guy will finally get some legs.

I finally got a chance to properly photograph my Christmas present to my mom. I made her a basket bag (inspired by the ones Hillary makes at wee wonderfuls) along with a knitting needle/crochet hook case.

To be honest, there were some close calls with this one.

In the weeks before Christmas, I quickly had a meltdown as I realized how much I still needed to accomplish despite my best efforts at planning ahead and starting early. My mom kept offering to help me finish up my Christmas projects not knowing that it was hers that was hanging in the balance. It’s safe to say that this was a stretch of my sewing ability, but I’m beyond happy with how the whole package turned out. My boyfriend, trying to be supportive, offered me what he thought was reassurance: "You can really tell it's handmade because the lines aren't straight." Right.

My favorite part was the silver love bird charm stiched onto the needle case. Just a little something extra...
