I started this blog in February and published in March of this 2019. It hasn’t been a full year of blogging just yet, but the year is over and now is the time we think about what we’ve done and accomplished.
- Over 100 blog posts and 30 lovely followers! Thank you!
- I photographed and uploaded the art I made in the year previous
- I took regular walks out in nature
- I wrote down some of my knowledge of plant identification
- I tried new recipes and made lots of things from scratch
- I tried making historical clothing pieces with the aim to supplement outfits I also want to make
- I drafted my own patterns
- I learned to crochet socks when before I could only make scarves. I also learned to switch yarns while crocheting and I learned a few new stitches and practiced them. I learned crocheting in the round and even how to make circles. I can now make scarves, hats, ear warmers, and socks.
- I practiced weaving, which I haven’t done since I was a child
- I made slippers
- I learned that onion skins give bone broth a beautiful, rich color
- I made an etsy to share my embroidery, sewing, and jewelry-making
- I pared down my fabric (and fiber) stash to a more reasonable amount
- I tried several new techniques of pen and ink
- I took up watercolors again
- I created art that I find beautiful
- I had a little fun with oil paints
- I practiced drawing plants from life
- I grew new-to-me watermelon and potatoes
I am proud of the accomplishments I’ve made in the past year. I hope that you all are proud of what you’ve accomplished this year, too, and that we all have a wonderful 2020.
