12 Months

Welcome to the January linky party for the 12 Month Challenge.   The first order of business is to do a follow-up featuring some of the creative people who linked up in January. 

It is always a pleasure to see one of Jan Beane's wonderful dolls joining the Linky party. Jan was part of the 52 week challenge in 2011, and has continued this year. She is what I consider to be a prolific doll maker. She is always coming up with delightful new members of her doll family. This is in addition to running a farm with her husband, raising goats, putting up a garden, and enjoying her family. 
 
 Jan has a fun blog to read - Life Lessons, that covers some of this busyness. I see that she has reorganized her craft room this month. Doesn't it look inviting! 

You can check out her Etsy shop here.



Anshu from the Blooms and Bugs Blog, is a Wife, Mom, and Seamstress. Originally from India, and now living in California, she loves sewing and sharing what she learns in tutorials and patterns.  She especially likes designing children's wear.  The patterns for the children's styles pictured are all available on her blog. 


These are just two of the crafty people who linked up in January.  I will continue to feature a few each month.

As for me, I  have sewn some new blocks for the Block of the Month project, made a pillow, tote bag, and table runner from the blocks, continued taking skywatch photos daily (although I am way behind in posting them to the blog), started an advertising campaign on the Totally Tutorials blog, and run a Free Fabric for Tutorials Exchange.



What have you been working on?  Feel free to link up a project that you have finished this month, or several if you like.  I am looking forward to seeing what you have been working on.  You have from now until March 27th to post your links.

12 Months

Welcome to the January linky party for the 12 Month Challenge.

I don't know about you, but I have been busy this month.  I've sewn some new blocks for the Block of the Month project, designed a Birthday Placemat, and taken and posted skywatch photos daily.

I've been very busy getting used to running my new blog - Totally Tutorials.  There has been advertising to figure out (since I've never done it before), setting up Pinterest and Twitter accounts, making a new banner, and posting four new tutorials each day.

Then there is the inchie block I contributed to Karen Griska's Group Quilt, setting up a Fabric/Tutorial Exchange (more details on Friday) and started a new baby quilt with a quilting friend.

It has been a productive month.




How about you?  Feel free to link up a project that you have finished this month, or several if you like.  I am looking forward to seeing what you have been working on.  You have from now until February 28th to post your links.

A New 12 Month Challenge

For 2012, the 52 week challenge has morphed into a 12 month challenge.  

I was finding the weekly deadline too constricting.  Some of the bigger projects I want to do just don't get done in a week.  So, the plan is to have a linky party once each month, on the last Wednesday of the month, when you will be able to post a project (or projects) that you have completed. Another change I would like to make is to do a follow-up post featuring some of the creations you link each month.  I hope that you can join in the challenge, each month, or even occasionally.

The first 2012 linky party will be posted January 25th.

 Here is a new button for those who would like one.

Let's get busy,
