happy new year!
i hope your holidays went well. i took a little break for the holidays around here, and it looks like i’ve been enjoying it since i’ve been a little absent.
i thought my first post for the new year would be a little look back at 2010. some favorite posts from the armelle blog, and a few things i was able to accomplish.
here goes nothing..
:: my first homemade fruit tart. i’m drooling right now… ::
:: finishing our basement, and my own studio… a peek at my stained concrete floor ::
:: wall-papering for the first time. birds and butterflies wallpaper for my studio ::
:: and, a wild things third birthday party ::
:: i finally picked out two new desks for my studio ::
:: made this awesome risotto.. seriously so good! ::
:: participated in many handmade shows, including the bijou market in an orchard ::
:: made lots, and lots, and lots… of new jewelry for shows and the shop ::
:: and, of course the tiny first birthday party for miss norah ::
:: made some fun DIY freezer paper stencil shirts ::
:: i made zucchini bread for the first time ::
:: i finished up painting an old dining hutch for my studio, and got cabinets hung above my desks ::
:: and, some fun place cards for our christmas breakfast ::
