See you again in 2009



As the year draws to a close, I'm taking a short break.

To everyone who has dropped by to read Hoppo Bumpo over the last 6 months, please accept my heartfelt thank you!

Up until February of this year, I didn't know how to sew. And what I knew about blogs could have been recorded on the back of a postage stamp. Frankly, I hadn't written anything more exotic than a shopping list or birthday card message, for years. So its been a really fun year.

Now that I have started crafting and writing, I couldn't imagine turning back for quids. Likewise, I have really enjoyed seeing what a whole community of very talented, crafty people are doing. Its been very inspiring to read everyone's blogs and I have had the opportunity to meet the loveliest people, both online and in person.

Thank you to you all.

Wishing you a new year full of health and happiness!
I hope you might drop by again in 2009.

  8. Man I didn't know these juicy facts - you write so beautifully (you are bloody funny) and you sew like a pro (fessional that is - don't know if good sewing is a prerequisite for being a lady of the night) Happy festivities!
