Hi-this is what I have been doing-happy 2013-bye.

Little Boozle 2012

Just popping my head in and giving a quick wave
as I rush past.

Little Boozle 2012

I hope that  you all enjoyed  your Christmas,
whoever you were with and whatever you were doing.

Little Boozle 2012

Apparently somewhere around northern Colorado back in October,
I lost my blogging mojo.

It is dusty in here.
I haven't been taking much care of this little space in the past few months.

I never did get back to report on our fabulous holiday.

Little Boozle 2012

I have wanted to blog but haven't had much to say
or the energy to say it.

So methinks that I might have gotten a bit of sewing
and a lot of knitting done instead.

Little Boozle 2 2012

2013 was a fabulous year for our little family
but I have to say that the end sucked a bit.

Little Boozle 2 2012

I can't say that I achieved a lot of my craft goals for the year
but I did knit over 28 kilometres of yarn
and still managed to have some energetic bursts of sewing in the meantime.

I am hoping that 2013 brings the best of health to some people that I know
and an easier emotional year for some others.

I am not much for resolutions.
I am better at hoping than resolving.
(Better for my commitment issues)

I hope to find that creativity that I have lost
so I can get back to writing and blogging.

Because I really do miss writing.

I hope to give my friend who will be visiting from Finland
her lifelong wish - a cuddle with a koala.

I hope to continue to resist the evil temptation that is Coke Zero
(2 days in and counting)

I hope to get healthier and lose that weight
that came with USA holidays, Reece's peanut butter cups,  malted shakes and chilliburgers.

I hope to spend less time on the internet 
and less time internet shopping.

I also hope (OK, Mr Boozle, intend) to stop buying so much yarn.
If I am knitting 28 kilometres a year
and still struggling to stash it,
I have issues.

Little Boozle 2012

I hope that I wont end up making 24 metres of bias binding 
and 24 metres of bunting in 3 days 
for Christmas presents
because, as much as sewing 104 flags together could be therapeutic,
it just did my head in.

I am feeling like life is a bit fragile at the moment.
So in 2013 I hope that I can make the most of each and every day.

Let us go carpe the fuck out of this diem.

Little Boozle 2012

I wish you and yours a fabulous 2013.

Now I am out of here for a while.
Hoping to recharge the batteries
and fire myself up for the next year.

Carpe away!
Wowee you've been busy with those knitting sticks. No wonder it's been a little quiet around these parts.
What's the pattern for those lovely three quarter drawstring pants? And are they easy to whip up?

Ha ha, that bunting may have been a pain in the arse to make, but I love it. You have been very productive!

Happy New Year Tas. Even though you may not feel so creative you've been a big knitting inspiration to this amateur this year :)
