I can very clearly remember being in this end-of-year thought space last year. However, recapping the past twelve months this time is easier as the year went by so quickly and so much happened. Things that come to my mind quickly from these past twelve months are the two wholesale trade shows. Meeting so many people at these shows was very inspiring for me.

I have really worked a lot this year, putting in hours and hours designing another three ranges, which will be coming out in the first few months of the new year.

Also it has been exciting getting stuck into facebook and seeing what people are creating with my fabrics and having instant feedback and conversations with you. Without facebook or my blog it would be very difficult to touch base with like minded people.

Being a grown up I think it is important to share the sadness as well. On  personal note, I lost both my grandparents this year. My husband recovered from a motor cycle accident. My mother had two long stints in hospital. Patrick's mum is loosing her eyesight. I shared grief with people who lost loved ones, a life long partner and a new born child. So sad. So especially to you I send you my love.

Happily my sister had her second baby, a girl who is just amazing.

My daughter turned five, she lost two front teeth, she had her finger sewn back on in Perth after she almost chopped it off. She starts school soon, which I know she is ready for but I am still overwhelmed. My little one with all those children. Yes tears were shed this year (just last week I cried all the way through my daughter's ballet recital. Not just at my daughter but at all the kids).

But all in all it was a happy year for me. Very happy.

I put together a few pictures, which I think capture some highlights of this year. There were many magical moments and these are but a few.
