2013 in Review

Looking back, it seems like 2013 was the year for making lots and lots of small items.  This is probably due to the big move in the summer, and then the decision to open my Etsy shop.  I only finished two quilts in the entire year (thank you Maggie, for having a baby!  Otherwise this number probably would have only been 1).  I also finished two quilt tops, a bunch of smaller quilted items, and a whole slew of baby things. 

I'm really looking forward to 2014.  I'm hoping to grow my Etsy shop a little, and then keep it stocked.  (More quiet books are coming!)  I'm also really excited to make my first Bee quilt.  Yeah, I'm freaking excited about that.  In 2014 I'm going to make more quilts in general.  Definitely more quilts.  The boys will be switching to toddler beds sometime in the next year, so of course they will need new quilts (don't worry - I already ordered the fabric.)  :)

There are lots of people in blogland committing to a fabric fast for 2014 and I say more for me!  ;)  In my opinion, I have been fabric fasting for three years and now that I am finally making a profit from my Etsy shop, I am going to stock up on the good stuff!  That was the deal when I started this thing.  After putting a percentage in the bank and donating another percentage to our church, the rest of the profit is going to be purely for me to spend on fabric and supplies!  Yay!  The hubby is happy that I won't be spending any more of his hard earned money on "sewing stuff" from now on...

Anyway.  Here are all of the things I created in 2013:
