optimism and a new year

 Hello dear readers and a happy new year!
Its been a while hasn't it?
I've been lost in the world of instagram,
which I know annoys some,
so I shall try to stop by here at least once a week.
To be truthful I needed a break from the blog,
I do find blogging sucks up so much of my time,
and with instagram I can find more time to be creative
with a needle and less keyboard action.
I feel 2015 is a year for optimism,
I've languished too long in the land of 'what ifs'.
So less self deprecation
and a little more unashamed cheering!

  5. Your quilt looks great (and massive), hanging on the fence like that. Happy New Year! It seems like you've chosen a very good new year's resolution. I hope you stick to it :)

  8. That last photo is amazing! I am blogging less and mostly because my computer time was sucking me into a vortex where nothing else was getting done. I miss reading blogs and want to pop in to my reader more often but I refuse to let it take over again - so long live IG!

  9. Wouldn't be fab if you went for a walk in the forest and gates were decorated with patchwork quilts as you went along!

  10. What a fabulous setting/picture of your quilt! I have completely stayed out of the facebook and instagram scene because my blogging already takes up entirely too much time.:) Need to have time to quilt too!
