It’s been a busy year! Below is a mosaic of the projects I’ve finished in 2009. Not as many as I thought there would be (and a lot of little ones), especially considering that I did not work at all during 2009. But I did take 28 hours of classes!

2009 started the same way that 2010 will start — with a 2-week trip to Vietnam! My only other travels during 2009 were two weekend trips to Portland for the Denyse Schmidt class and to South Padre Island, Texas, with some college friends.

It has been an interesting year with a lot of thinking about what I want to be doing with myself. In 2010 I will hopefully get some customers for my new business and will be starting my new part-time job. And I’m hoping to continue delving into the finer points of garment construction, since I have been finding that very rewarding!

Thank you all for hanging out with me, reading my blog, and being one of my primary connections to the larger world. I’m looking forward to hanging out with you more in 2010!

Okay, it’s time to go work on those pre-trip activities, since we leave first thing tomorrow morning. Have a Happy New Year!
