From a sewing perspective, I sewed a LOT of things. Some of my favorites from the year include: (each link opens in a new window)
Burda Hoodie
Hotpatterns Uptown Downtown Dress
My Susan Khalje Bustier
McCalls 5287 Shirtdress
Simplicity 3503 Boho Maxi Dress, that I wore for DS the Younger's TV appearance
Burda 9812 Pants for DS the Second
Burda Spring Coat
Embroidered Spring Skirt
And of course, Tatitana's Dresses.
There were some incredible moments. I met some wonderful new sewing friends. I hosted a Sit and Sew with Susan Khalje. Gorgeous Fabrics is going strong. I celebrated my half-life wedding anniversary, and my family and friends are just wonderful and supportive.
Yes, there's been one major bump in that road. It sucks, but I'll get past it (keep me in your thoughts on January 5th, please). And of course, it's been painful dealing with this economy. But chin up! We're all going to come through this okay, and perhaps a little wiser!

I hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year. May 2010 bring you health, happiness and prosperity in whatever way you define it.
