   I think it’s time to tell you about my big project for 2010. Well, it’s not just my project but rather a collaboration with the husband.

   I’m expecting a baby for late Spring and we couldn’t be any more excited. I know it sounds silly to people who haven’t experienced it but it is truly a miracle to see your belly grow every day and know that a little person is in there.

   It’s all become more real in the last couple of weeks as the little one has started kicking… a lot!

   As you can guess, a lot of the craft projects I’ve been dreaming about and planning are all baby related and that’s why I think this space has been a bit quiet for a while but now that the news is out I’ll start recording them all here.

   There are plans for curtains and decorations and toys and some knitted garments too. Of course, the brain goes faster than my hands, as my mum likes to say, and we’ll see how much is achieved.

   It’s funny, having a kid opens up a whole new world of crafting! I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

2. Last craft of the year

   Don’t worry, I don’t mean this year but the last one.

   Between the mad dash between Christmas and New Year, I decided I needed to finally sew covers for the new pillows we’d had for ages lying in the spare room. It was part trying to get a head start on organising the house – which usually happens early in January – and part getting tired of looking at the sad cushions we had on our sofas.

   The husband had suggested tartan patterns when I asked what he fancied for new cushions so off I went to find some fabric and got sewing. I’d forgotten how much fun sewing can be. In almost no time at all we had nice new cushions and, even if I say so myself, they look quite nice in the living room.

   I can feel it all coming back to me…

   Soon I’ll tell you about my big project for 2010. It’s exciting!
