a year in review & old new 30's

Can you believe it is now 2013!?! It seems like 2012 had just begun and now it is a new year again! Am I the only one that time just flies now that I'm older. It was fun going through all my "lovely little handmades" from 2012! I'm excited that I was able to have a wonderful year of sewing and add little tidbits of cuteness to my home!


Before the holidays Lecien sent me these lovely samples of Old New 30's!  Every time I think I won't be able to like another Lecien collection more than the last, I always do.  I can't wait for this to come in the Spring!


I love the cute cheater print and the sweet mini flowers and cherries with blossoms!  So sweet!


For Christmas my sweet hubby gave me a gift certificate to my favorite Antique shop that I'd been eyeing some things at.  Here is the pretty rug I got with my gift certificate!  Isn't it pretty!  Even Sweet Sophie loves the new rug.  :)


I also got some pretty vintage sheer curtains.  I love how it adds such prettiness to my hallway.


This lovely vintage framed mirror and shelf was what I got Christmas morning!  He even hung it up for me Christmas day so I could enjoy it!   I just love it!!


This week-end we went up to the Mountains and stayed with my little brother at his cabin.  He is a professional snowboarder so he lives up there all winter long.  It was fun being able to spend the week-end in the snow and enjoy some family time!


My brother, Ryan and I.  


I love the beauty of winter in the mountains!


My little ones spent hours upon hours sledding, and playing in the snow!  Pure fun!


Sledding fun!


I couldn't resist the fun!  :)


We even enjoyed some snowmobiling!



I hope everyone is having a wonderful and happy New Year!!


Hugs,

  15. Hi Kerri! I am from Hawaii and enjoy reading your blog. I wanted to share a great story with you - I happened to be visiting my in laws in WA and was shopping at Kitsap Mall around Christmas time. I was sitting momentarily waiting for my family who had gone into a store, and I think I saw you go into a shoe store. I think it was you because you were wearing a red coat and carrying a pretty floral oilcloth bag. The bag caught my eye, and I was thinking, "wow, nice bag!" It wasnt until you walked out of the shoe store that I thought, "wait a minute, I think that was Kerri!!" Anyways, I had hoped to bump into you later that night, but no such luck. I wanted to say I really enjoy your creations, you are awfully talented at sewing beautiful things. Happy new year to you and yours!! I visit WA yearly so who knows, maybe we'll bump into each other one day. :) Aloha! Nancy

    1. Hi Nancy,

      Oh, how exciting! It probably was me. I did go into a shoe store to exchange something for my daughter (some ballet slippers) at the Kitsap mall. I do have a red coat and a red handbag! :) I wish we could have met! That would have been fun. Please let me know when you are in the area next time and we will have to set a time to meet.

      Hugs,

      Kerri :)
