This is the way the 2010 begins

This is the way the 2010 begins
Not with a bang but a whisper.

That is exactly how I have felt with the coming of 201o. It is just snuck up on me and silently, quietly, peacefully transitioned me from yesteryear to a new decade. Unlike last year I spent my New Year’s Eve quietly at home celebrating East Cost style with a personal toast at 9 p.m. Although I can’t say I am going into 2010 with lots of gusto I am trying to go in with commitments to myself. It is nice to know that 2010 is already looking as though it will make a sizable dent in my 101 in 1001 which is only 10% complete as of today. It is also nice that I feel as thought I am at peace. I hope that will stay throughout the next 365 days.
Speaking of 365 or 366 for 2010 I have started up again. I don’t know if they will all be portraits or just pictures or what but I do miss the chronicalling of the year. Imagine if I had had the pictures from 10 years ago. WOW! However, I do have some great memories that I hope to make into a photobook (yet another of my 101 goals).
Oh and since this is a crafty blog afterall. I also made a DIY Ringlight to get the shot above. It was quick easy and I absolutely love the look of ring lights. I do need to make another as the tube circumference was smaller than my lens.
Anyhoo, as is customary at the end of the year here is my 2009 wrap up. Not much for 365 days worth of crafting but it was all great. My favorite item of 2010 has to be my Burda maxi dress. I can’t WAIT to make at least two more of those for the warm weather.

I still love that digital camera case. it’s awesome! Thank you for reminding me about it!
Oh now, that BWOF maxi dress was most definitely worth it! Its my favorite too!
You are so talented! I want each and every one of those items! Happy 2010!
You accomplished a lot in 2009! I am always inspired by your FOs.
It’s wonderful that you are starting the new year with a sense of peace.
You really had a bunch of great projects. Can;t wait to see what you do next!
Happy New Year! I am so impressed with your DIY Ringlight. You get’ em tiger.
I say you were pretty productive and very diverse in your projects. Well done. Diggin’ the new look of the blog. I was fishin’ around on WordPress the other day and saw this. Still with blogger, but I use WordPress for content management at work, so might make the switch.
The jacket is TDF.
You are amazing. The chest is so cool and clean, and I love the butterflies.
I’m glad I found you.
I made a blue Gretel last year too! Happy New Year to you!
Happy New Year Mo! I look forward to sharing more knitting, sewing and decorating adventures with you!
