In April it was all about treasuring time and learning to say goodbye

May: coffee, breastfeeding, co-op order, and Stormchasers

Our twin boys' birth story, written in June although they were born in the autumn! [also in June, saying goodbye to Grandmother]

Musical theatre fun in October

A November visit "up north" with family

Posts that were very enjoyable in the making included my interview with Emily about her creative endeavour, Supremily Jewellery; and also writing up a review of Texture's amazing clothing.

Some of my favourite 2011 posts from other bloggers include:

  2. Great links! Did you know that type of quilt is called "wholecloth"? It's a style that originated in Wales. That's what I learned at the quilting museum in York! :)
