The Year in Review

As the year draws to a close I like to look back and see how I spent my year.  The cooking, the crafting, the places I've seen. 

I think it's fitting that on this final day of 2009 we are actually having a blue moon!  I think it is an auspicious end to the year and a great start to the new one.  I, for one, am really looking forward to what 2010 brings.  I think it is going to be a really good year!

January – A lovely start to the year should include a visit with the girls.  They are so sweet and comical.

February – Ready for Spring with a freshly painted $30 table, a $7 Ikea vase and bunch of tulips. 

March -  A project that worked from conception to execution!  I still love those ruffly little stool covers.
 
 

April -  The yard starts to explode with blooms….and mosquitoes.
 
 

May – Finally got the house painted.  Only took us eight years.  My favorite part is the paint color name for the front door – "Kitty Kitty"

June – One of my favorite pictures.  When I look at those jars of buttons I feel rich. 

 

July – A month of visitors and baking – my first clafoutis (why do I want to say "Bless you!" when I hear that word?) 

August – A sweet little pig.  That I couldn't leave alone and painted and silver-leaf'd and antiqued….

September – The Winemaker's Wife and I embark on a new canning crusade.  Well we got six jars out of it…

October - Oven quits - Andrea complains – Thermador comes to the rescue

November – Let the glittering begin!

December – one of my favorite projects of the year.  And one of the few decorations I actually put up this year.

Thank you for sharing this year with me and indulging me in a little reminiscing.

Join the fun and see other bloggers' year in pictures.
