WOW. What a year.
Not a hugely different year to last, in fact the months seem to look remarkably similar don't they? I like the sameyness of these years, I find it comforting and reassuring to acknowledge the repetitive rhythm of my life. Despite the odd drama, I've been blessed with a huge amount of security, stability, love, happiness and joy this year. I am deeply grateful for this and I hope this gratitude comes across as I document my life's rather ordinary, domestic journey.
I've written 108 posts this year, and after almost four years of blogging I continue to be completely thrilled with it all. I adore creating this catalogue of memories, thoughts and ideas, it's become such a valuable, rewarding and creative part of my life.
Thank you as always for continuing to visit me in the Attic, for taking time to write, for egging me on with all that I do. I appreciate your company so very much. I know that 2012 is going to be great, and I for one cannot wait for it to begin tomorrow.
Wishing you all a bright and colourful HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!! I am so happy I found your blog this year! I started teaching myself to crochet and your site has just been wonderfully inspiring! Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials! And my latest project, the holly leaves, looked wonderful on the nieces hats for Christmas! Was much fun to make them something I crocheted myself and the best part was your pattern was so perfect - they turned out beautifully! Thanks for your generosity in helping me learn to crochet this year!!! :o)

I absolutely LOVE your blog!! It's one of the things that motivated me to learn how to crochet! :)
I just started a new series on my blog and thought you & your readers might be interested in participating in. It’s called “Finish it Friday” and basically it’s a way to help me get all my ufos finished. I’m planning on posting each week on Fridays & hopefully having craft projects I’ve completed (knitting, crochet, quilting, anything really). I’ll also have a linky each week if other bloggers want to link up their post about finishing items. I’d love if you took part or shared with your readers!
Bye,
Lisa
