2011 started on a bad foot. I was in Egypt and woke up to the news of the church bombing. A revolution and lots of turmoil in January and a lot of stress and worrying. My crafting has suffered at times because of all the stress, and at others it was my only stress buster. I have made friends with my needles and sewing machine (which is currently suffering from neglect). I released my first knitting pattern and a few sewing tutorials.

 
I have learned a very important lesson in 2011, if you hate it while you are making it, stop because it won’t grow on you later.
