Hello, and Happy New Year! ✨🥳 At the end of the year, I really like to reflect on what I'm proud of, what was hard, and what brought me joy, including not only big personal achievements or challenges but also my top sewing and knitting projects and even, this year, a massive sewing fail!
I hope you enjoy!
