The Year That Felt Too Short and 2018 Plans

Its amazing how times flies by.  2018 is only a few days away.  With work and life, blogging just got away from me. Instagram and Facebook made it extremely easy to forget about actual blogging. In 2018 one of my goals is to make more time to blog. Even though it feels like I didn't make anything this year, I actually made quite a lot of things.

Over the past year I made about 5 crafty items and about 25 clothing items. Most were for me, but there were some that were made to give away.
Here's some of those makes.

This year I also participated in the #2017MakeNine, which is nine garments wanted to make over the year.  Of those nine patterns that I selected to make, I only was able to accomplish one.  I'm not giving up though, so I'm making a make nine plan for 2018, so that I can try again.  This time around, I chose items that would flow with my plans to participate in the 2018 RTW fast held by Sarah from Goodbye Valentino, as well as with my capsule wardrobe for work wear and casual wear that I began last year.

All of my 2018 Make Nine plans coincide with the continuation of making a new wardrobe that is my style and fits my body. I previously spoke about my wardrobe plans and the 2017 make nine in this post. So overall, while I didn't keep to my original plans for the year, I am happy with what I've made.


Here's to next year, and whatever crafty goodness that it brings.
