Hello friends! How are you? Everything ready for the New Year? 🙂
I’ve been working like crazy lately, and although I really really need some time to play in my studio, that’s not going to happen. Maybe next year,LOL! There are so many UFO’s on my desk! Some ATCs, a lovely piece of my handwoven fabric that I started painting and embellishing, a crocheted scarf that needs a few more beads, brooches that need pins…well, as I said, next year….. 🙂 But I have some scarves and ponchos to weave and deliver to customers, and although I love to weave, it’s more like work now and not enough play! Also, a lot of things have been sold lately, and some of them I forgot to photograph (bad me!), which made me want to post photos of some of my pieces that were so hard to sell! I fall in love with almost everything I make (doesn’t that happen to all of us?) and sometimes, even though I am thrilled to sell, it makes me feel kind of sad that I’m never going to see those pieces again. So here are just a few photos of those ‘hard to sell’ creations:
There are many more in this category, but I can’t keep everything in my closet, right? It’s enough that I have so many journals and albums that are just sitting on the shelf. I can’t force my self to sell them. I just look at them and feel happy! Crazy…
Well, it’s time for me to go and weave something beautiful (with ruffles,yay!). Or maybe I could eat some chocolate cake first? Hmmm…decisions, decisions…:)
I also wanted to thank you for visiting my blog, this was my first blogging year and it was absolutely wonderful! Happy New Year, I wish you love, peace and good health! And some cake, of course! 🙂
Happiest of New Years to you and yours, Sonja – I love all your new creations – The pics are fabulous – Love everything you do – You inspire me to do better in my own work – It has been a wonderful year – Meeting you and making a new life long friend has been one of the highlights of 2011 for me … You are my Soul Sister!

Kristine

These are beautiful pieces Sonja. Thanks so much for sharing them. And yes, I forget to take pictures of things all the time, and then it is gone……I’m glad we both got through our first year of blogging together! Happy New Year!
