It’s been a while since I shared a Year of Projects post, but as the year comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on my crafty accomplishments in 2012 and planning for 2013.

I’m sharing a quickie post today because I’m running out to meet my mom and join the lines of New York City shoppers preparing for Hurricane Sandy. Public schools are closed tomorrow, but I haven’t heard about the colleges yet, so I may or may not be going in to work. I hope everyone in [...]
