Mosaic 2010
Here are some more of the things I made last year- these were finished between June and December. I certainly had a lot of fun in my workroom in 2010! But now I must have a thorough clean-up in there – I'm a truly untidy worker. I've decided though, that rather than being less messy, I will just try to have proper clean-ups every month or so. I'm over making New Year's Resolutions I can't keep!

Wishing you a happy weekend. See you on Monday.

    Such a charming collection – you have worked hard!
    I also suffer from the untidy bug. It’s so hard to keep everything in it’s place! Best of luck with the monthly clean-ups – put on some good music, and you’ll be more than halfway there!
    Have a lovely day.

    Melissa you must be really happy and proud of all your achievements last year – they certainly look wonderful all together.
    That sounds like a good idea to have proper clean ups once a month rather than marathon ones every six months!

    I’d like to buy you a painted ceramic but you do not paint so much …
    Can I hope to succeed in having one this year?

    You are so diverse in all that you make; Sewing, embroidery and crochet. And it is all beautifully done.
    I have a huge 4foot x 6foot table and I can see maybe a square foot! I’ve run out of places to put things … and there is no more room for another shelf!
    Lovely, lovely projects.
    Hugs

    Oh how beautiful to see all your projects together. I have to say that my little tansy mug is my current favourite. I don’t keep it in the cupboard, it’s always on the kitchen windowsill where I can see
    Happy New Year to you Melissa.

    I’m a rather messy worker too. I am a collector of lovely old things and a creator of many unfinished projects. I often made resolutions to complete this or tidy that etc. But the only resolution I have managed to keep is to not make resolutions. (I will set goals but smaller not wildly ridiculous ones like Be tidy or lose weight)
    I love those little flowers in the middle of the photo mosaic.

    Lovely to finish some projects… Might make that my late resolution… Is there any chance you could tell me the details for the lovely green dress at top left?
    I’d love to buy that pattern!
