A great year and a broken leg.

The broken leg is my husband’s, not mine thankfully. The result of partaking a few beers with his son on Boxing Day coupled with 2 inches of snow.

So we have welcomed in the New Year quietly as Mr Jones contemplates 8 weeks tied to the house and my life now includes the bins, the recycling, mending punctures, food shopping and all those other jobs that traditionally in our household falls under the charge of Mr Jones.
But what a year it has been.
After 11 years I became Mrs Jones.

With the help of friends and family we enjoyed preparing for the day.

I attended the Minerva meet-up day in June where I got to meet the other Minerva bloggers and indulge in sewing talk all day!

I throughly enjoyed blogging for both Minerva Crafts and White Tree Fabrics throughout the year. It seems that a deadine or two gives me the impetus to carry on crafting.

I wrote 143 new posts! Thanks to referrals from Pinterest my gecko from 2013 still featured as one of my most read posts of 2014!

Many of my other posts featured my first love, crochet. Incidentally my crochet posts have always drawn in the most views and comments.

Best of all I dabbled in dressmaking for the very first time.

So here’s to a creative 2015.
Increased responsibility at work will mean I need all my distractions at home!
I just hope Mr Jones’s fibula mends swiftly. He’s a little grumpy on his crutches.

Love, Lucie xx
