oh wowie! your year in images is SO much better than the one fb makes, of course it is!!
ReplyDeleteHeHe (as Mo would say) ... I have much more fun in blog-land than I do in FB-ville
DeleteI have another post in draft-mode about the year ahead, so I'll see you on New Year's Eve ... when I suspect the members of the Bird Hut will surely have recovered enough from Christmas to have another go ...
a very fruitfull year Indeed. Yes. Satisfying.
ReplyDeleteMade more so by your encouragement and support ... your steadfastness.
DeleteThank you for that ...
Recapping your creative year is a delight to see Liz and I also enjoy just seeing how it is on your land in the Hill country. Rich and I lived in Round Rock Texas for three years so we get the Hill country. Both you and Don have creativity running through your veins and I look forward to your continued sharing in the New Year. Joy to you both as we head into 2015.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marti ... it's been wonderful having you come to visit and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year, both here and on the other blogs we frequent (maybe even in person as Don and I may very well pass through New Mexico on our way to Arizona).
DeleteIn the meantime, I hope you get well soon ...
what a delightful review of the wonderful things that have fallen out of you & Don's hands this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mo ... have a wonderful holiday at the beach and much peace in the year ahead
Deletelove the woven insert!
ReplyDeleteMe, too ... that was a real "Aha" moment after Considering Weave ...
DeleteI'd say you've had a splendid year...and i enjoyed that glimpse of the Solace flag. It's going to be a great "unpack" when i line up all those parcels next June!
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about what the current Flag count is ... of course, some of the parcels may have more than one.
