**happy new year**

WOW... what and amazing year 2012 was for me! I've been one, very busy year and I loved every minute of it! Looking back over the year its really hard to choose my favourite bits because there are so many, but here goes:

I opened my "do a bit" Etsy shop... a little dream come true :)

I created some really wonderful things:

:: lots of lovely softies

:: they look a bit like mug shots, don't you think? :)

:: I cut quite a few screen printing stencils, mixed a lot of ink and screen printed like a maniac!

:: I did a LOT of sewing

:: and I dabbled in other creative ventures...

I also became totally addicted to Instagram... there so many amazing, inspiring and creative people out there! I just love seeing what they are all up to everyday!

Some of my own favourite Instagram photos:

This year I met lots of wonderful creative people through Sydney abcd meet-up which is organised by the lovely Steph from Bondville and her partner in craftiness Lisa from The Red Thread. Really looking forward more meet-up this year and be able to talk all things crafty without feeling guilty, they are such great fun!

I feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful year! Thank you all so much for your support, it's greatly appreciated! I love our creative community! Thank you xxx

I'm really looking forward to see what this year will bring and I really hope you all have an amazing 2013 too!

Best wishes,

Lamina :)
