Happy New Year, friends!
Is it just me or did 2016 zoom by?!? When I look back on the past year, I see 2016 as the year of work, work, and more work, which means that I did not get to spend much time with my sewing machine. But even with all that work, I did manage to stitch up a few projects.
There were lots of pincushions.

I also made a few pouches and other little quick projects over the course of the year. So while I did get some stitching done, I’m hoping to get even more done in 2017. Wish me luck!
