2011 The Roundup - What a Busy Year!

Wow 2011, you have been a busy year! I thought it would be fun to look back and pick my favourite photo/post from each month and share the year in review. These are my highlights, I hope you enjoy them too. If you are new to My Poppet, this is a great place to start... Grab a cup of tea and have fun exploring.

Step Back in Time - One Year & One Month Ago

Turns out November 2010 was quite a colourful month...
-I made a felted alphabet which you can download in poster form. Pop over and get your Free Alphabet Poster.
-Uncovered an awesome vintage book at the Op-shop.
-Made a Christmas Pudding and met an amazing gal who I'm very proud to call one of my bestest friends.
-Sewed up some giant cushions for Emma's reading nook, for instructions on how to make them visit the Fringed Cushion tutorial.

Yes, it was a very good month

This time last year...October

Well time really does fly when you are having fun. It felt like only yesterday that Emma started going through her 'tantrum stage'. She is at the 'bossy stage' now, but that's a whole separate post.

So in October last year:
-I showed you how to dye your own wool
-how to make some tossing bean bags, (a great Christmas gift idea)
and
-shared my frustration with Emma's little temper turns, and had some really lovely reader comments that helped me get through the challenge of it all (Thank you!)

This time last year...

Occasionally it's nice to look back on ones blog archives and reminisce. If you are new to My Poppet, I urge you to step back in time and have a poke around some of the older posts, there is lots of inspiration to be had.

Here are a few things that may interest you from this time last year.
1. One of my super popular tutorials How to Create an Animated GIF image
2. I made some cute retro waistcoats from some vintage fabric
3. Found some crazy cool wall paper in my bedroom
