Happy 2010 everyone! I can't believe 2009 is gone. Done. The memories I have from last year are fabulous and I am looking forward to a new, amazing year as Nina grows and as Jeff and I welcome a new member to our family. We celebrated all of our Christmas' and I will update you all with pictures soon from that and the baby shower!

In the meantime I wanted to make sure you stop by your local craft or sewing shop and pick up a copy of the new sewing directory Sew It All. This is a special issue brought to you by the same lovely folks that publish Sew News and Creative Machine Embroidery.

There are some projects from me in there (like this super quick mesh eco-friendly produce bag) as well as other super creative sewing and embroidery projects to get your new crafting year started of easy and painless! Check them out at www.sewingdistrict.com too!

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted something. It seems to me like last week! Hope all your holidays with friends and family were fantastic! This is my kitten Pedro chilling out under the Christmas tree on the brand new tree skirt I made from a circular table cloth. Check out it out here for the directions. I think I am going to add some embroidery to it for next year!

This month brings some exciting updates to the site so keep your eyes on the How-to Videos, Project downloads and the Sewepedias. I've been working like crazy in my absence...hopefully on stuff you will enjoy!

Happy New Year to you all and I am looking forward to all the fun, crafty stuff I have to share with you!
