2014!

Well look at that...2014...who knew? Who knew that in 1985, when I was a budding pre-teen, I would see 2014! My oh my, how things have changed...but in a good way! So for 2013, I did a lot of great things and I am proud to say I accomplished things I set out to do! JclaireP is still working away and I was able to maintain the sales I needed! Two years of being on Etsy.com and I have to say I still love it!  Also, on a personal level, I was finally able to donate my hair! I had been growing it for seven years and I chopped it! 11 1/2" (1.18 lbs) of hair was donated to Pantene Great Lengths.  It was a wonderful experience and they even sent me a thank you card! So now, in 2014, I have a new do....It's a little daring, but I like it...what do you think?
It really is quite liberating...a totally new perspective too...Although, I must admit, it is COLD in the Winter!

I have really been getting the urge to clean house this January. I have been going through all my material and thinking of new ways to use it.  I would like to put every bit of scrap to use and so far, I think I have done pretty good! I made a patchwork skirt from scrap material:
A skinny scarf from vintage yarn:

And a pet pillow from old sweatshirt material and material scraps! (this was donated to the shelter yesterday!)
So, 2014 has been full of a lot of fun for me. I have to say, I can't wait to see what is to come! I hope everyone is setting great goals for themselves and finding the courage to achieve them...You know you can!

Thanks for read my first entry of the year and I look forward to sharing more with you again!

Blessings to you!
