A New Year - A Fresh Start

Why not start off 2013 with a new beginning?  I have been a bit uninspired to blog through December.  Don't get me wrong.  I have been sewing like mad, but sitting down to write a post was just too much for me.  Can we start fresh in 2013?  I miss you all and would love to re-join our online community for the inspiration, chatter and laughs!  I'll try like mad to catch up with each of your blogs over the next few days.

Let's kick off the new year with new, colorful photos of an old project: Chaos.  Remember how difficult it was to photograph it with the Irish rain?  Well, I was in the US for the Christmas holiday.  I brought with me a few finished projects to photograph in the hope of finding a bit of sun.  So, one bright morning I packed them up and took a walk in the local nature preserve, Peace Valley.  I regularly walk here often while I'm in PA.  I grew up in this nature reserve flipping over rocks to look for bugs, bird watching and catching frogs.  I love it here.  Still, you have to know I looked like a right eejit walking around with a camera and several quilts, but it had to be done!



 There are lots of downed trees in the reserve this winter.  They were knocked over during Hurricane Sandy, giving me a dose of reality in my walk.  Still, they made great backdrops for a photo or two!


There's our colorful kick off to 2013.  Here's hoping the new year is filled with gorgeous colors, fab fabrics and great finishes for all of us!
