Hello, 2012 and happy new year everyone!
I want to share with you some of the rad things I received for/around Christmas time because it was a pretty great year for hand made loveliness.
First of all, goods swapped/purchased from the recent Harvest Xmas Market (which was a totally fun day the Sunday before Christmas)...
Top to bottom: Beci Orpin's 'picture book', Compendium of Me; knitted necklace from Sweet Polka; earrings by Dani M.
And Christmas surprises from fabulous family, top to bottom: Earrings and brooch by And O Design, purchased at the Curious Oyster Shoppe; iPad cover made from an old knitted sweater by Gaye Abandon; and this rad Dakota wallet from Status Anxiety (bonus, I no longer have to take my Myki card out of my wallet to swipe it on public transport - holla with me if you know how much of an awesome thing this is).
My Christmas/NY break was as expected, but with more regular afternoon naps (especially on those freaky heatwave days last week). I had time to think a lot about 2012 and what I'll be spending my time doing. And I have to be honest here - 2012 is not going to be a year where this blog gets a lot of that time. In fact I'd say we're pretty much on a downhill from now, and I fully expect to 'sign off' indefinitely come March. Even though I spent last year talking about how blogging regularly is really important - and it is - I should have asterisked that with a *but don't stretch yourself too thin trying to administer more than one blog!
See, the CWC, its events and blog, is going to be my main 'work thing' during this early motherhood gambit. So in the interest of not overcommitting myself (and then being committed), I'm starting to shed other responsibilities in preparation, one of which is unfortunately the upkeep of this blog. Just letting you know. The CWC blog will still be awesome and updated regularly, and I'm looking forward to maintaining it. But I think come April I need to reduce the number of saucepans on the stovetop, at least until my baby proves independent enough to amuse himself quietly for a few hours a day, possibly with his own blog or whatever this iGeneration is so adept at using iDevices for these days...
