i said that :: 2010 rewind

well, it seems today is the last day of the year. in keeping with tradition below is a collection of the first sentence from the first inspired mama musings blog post of each month in 2010 ::

january
"one week in and so far the new year has been treating us right."

february
"snow!!"

march
"i hope you are having sunshine-y get outside and play weather in your neck of the woods!"

april
"we woke up early, anxious to see what the weather would bring."

may
"...our family grew by two {tiny} feet, our hearts grew two sizes {at least} and our love, collectively, could power the earth {and more}."

june
"spending our days snuggling, and babywearing, and helping."

july
"i have so much to share with you all..."

august
"we are just home from a short family road trip which took us through the beautiful idaho mountains, into montana where we spent some time on flathead lake and in missoula, and then to riggins idaho to play on the salmon river."

september
"brand new month, brand new happenings to post about ::"

october
"i know the calender says october but the weather tells another story, therefore i have been completely un-inspired to do anything autumn related."

november
"i started this post last night but after homework and dinner and bath time and bed it was forgotten and then remembered today, november two."

december
"inspired mama MAKES! will be making an appearence at the hip holiday craft market tomorrow."

♥ ♥ ♥

in short 2010 was a pretty great year for us. we anxiously awaited then welcomed our sweet baby boy, celebrated 10 years of marriage, had many birthdays to celebrate and just a whole lot of crazy family fun.

today has been spent talking about the how quickly the year past us by, pondering what 2011 has in store and of course making a few resolutions/goals/plans for our lives because there is always room for improvement, friends.

i am wishing you all happy and safe celebrating and look forward to spending time with you all here in the new year!
with much love,
erika

new year musings

one week in and so far the new year has been treating us right. here are a few random things that have been keeping us busy ::

:: wool spinning ::


:: stew cooking ::
(in the oh, so lovely chicken crock!)



:: sun soaking ::


:: undie sewing ::
these were too big so smaller (and much cuter!) unders have been cut out. i cut some for the little boy too in preparation for new adventures.

i have also been putting some thought into our 2010 handmade holiday. as of right now my grand plan is to make one gift per month throughout the year. i have some quick projects planned and a few tutorials to share with you in the next several months. my goal is to make the next holiday our biggest handmade celebration yet! does anyone want to join me? i would love to pop in and check out your handmade holiday progress this year!

happy new year, friends! i can't wait to share 2010 with you all!
