2012 in Review

It seems I haven't posted on this blog since last January, so I figured I had better get to it. Let's sum up 2012. It was a doozy! This should be fun!

Right at the beginning of 2012, I started a dress blog. I wanted to make one dress a month for a year. It turned out that I got through six dresses. I haven't given up. I'm still going to make those last 6 dresses, guess it will just take me two years instead of one!

My sewing motto: Measure never, cut thrice.

In February, I visited Texas for the first time with two great girls. Surprising facts I learned was they have hobbit cafes there, Whole Foods originated in Austin, and Liz should never let me do her nails.


I got to celebrate the triplet's first birthday. William, James, and Brian had a blast and were zonked out well before the end. If I am not mistaken, so were their parents!

In June, Greg and I traveled to Israel for a friend's wedding. Check that one off my list.

Soon after that vacation, we got a sweet, little puppy we nicknamed Jerk Face because he eats all our stuff.

To finish off the year, I got a new job. Now you can see what happened to the rest of my dress making time!


It is a new year and there are tons of new things to do. I got a serger for Christmas which presents endless sewing possibilities. I've got a zillion new craft ideas. I joined the Y to make sure Leslie's body is as sound as her mind. The new job gives me the ability to save, spend, and be worry free the way I've always wanted to be. Not to mention all the new things I'm learning. I think 2013 is going to be great!
