I love being able to look through my 2009 blog posts and Flickr pages to remember what I did this past year! Here are a few highlights:

In 2009, I took an art design class, a couple drawing classes, and a silver smithing class.

I made a few quilts.

I spent two weeks in China visiting my sister and her family.

We did a lot of gardening around here and planted several new trees in our backyard.

I spent my summer vacation with my sister and family at my parent’s cottage.

I made a few bags, mini quilts and entered a few swaps.

I opened up my Patchwork Trails etsy shop.

I spent my birthday in New York City.

I started an regular exercise routine, and I lost 10 pounds!

It was actually quite a productive year! I am looking forward to starting fresh in 2010 and switching gears in a couple areas of my life. I am also looking forward to seeing what next year brings for all of you, my blogger friends. I hope you all enjoy a happy and safe New Year’s Eve!
