2023, A Year in Review

It's that time of year . . . time to look back at all of the projects I posted to this blog in 2023.  Some of the items made early in the year feel like they were made at least two or three years ago, not less than 12 months ago!  I have lost all sense of time over the last few years.  And to be fair, a couple of these items were technically finished prior to 2023, just never posted here (and if it's not posted to the blog, does it really exist?!).  Last year has both felt like an eternity and feels like it was gone in the blink of an eye; either way, I am ready to move on!

I was slightly more productive than I thought; and my attempt to add more separates to the wardrobe was a success, so that's nice.

I still feel like my clothes are a huge mismatch of all sort of styles with no real theme - which makes for some fun when it comes to getting dressed in the morning, but there are days when I do wish that I had a more cohesive sense of style.

But I do love being able to make my own wardrobe.  If I don't have my hands in a sewing or knitting project for a few days, something feels off.  So there are no plans to stop making whatever tickles my fancy in the moment any time soon.

Thank you for following along with my shenanigans for another year!
