1st January 2014

I have talked nicely to my old computer and she stays on just long enough for me to transfer some photos from her to an external hard drive.....but it is a very long process.

January 2013

And so while the going is good I thought I would try and do my 2013 review.
As you can see we had our fair share of snow last January but the top left photo is the 1st Jan and we went for a walk in the Yorkshire Dales.

FEBRUARY 2013

February....more snow and more walks and a bit of creativity as I attended a workshop at Hope and Elvis with Diane (no the blanket is still unfinished!)

March 2013

March saw even more snow, walking and baking for Mothers day and....another workshop at Hope and Elvis with my partner in Craft, Diane. This time I managed to finish the project on the day, a fab pinny with Janet Clare. 

April 2013

April and the snow was still on Snowdonia when we arrived for a lovely holiday in North Wales.....and it was my birthday.

North Wales Holiday in April

May 2013

May saw us in Haworth for our annual trip back to the 1940's and with the snow finally gone a few walks in the spring sunshine.

June 2013

June and the weather was hotting up. I met up with my lovely friend Shan and some more beautiful walks. Hubby and I spent a week in Shropshire.

July 2013

July was busy, I dressed as Beatrix Potter for school, I attended a hen night, I went to a two day workshop at Hope and Elvis with the very talented Janet Bolton and stayed the night with the perfect hostess, Diane.

August 2013

Brittany at the end of July and beginning of August 2013

August was my nephews wedding and I had a fantastic holiday in Brittany with Hubby AND a few days away with my mum in Northumberland!.

September 2013

September was still warm. A time for rushbearing and foraging and visits to Liverpool. I won best in show for a photo at a local village show and made Maisie Mouse for a friends new born baby girl.

October 2013

Autumn arrives with some walks in Yorkshire and Lancashire and a workshop in Brighouse with Anne Brooke and my lovely bloggy pal Lynn.

November 2013

November and Hubby and I went to the Lake district for one night to celebrate our 17th Wedding Anniversary. More walks and the only bit of snow so far this winter.(oh and a new hair cut for me!)

December 2013

December I went to Manchester to visit the Christmas market, had a Christmas workshop with Diane where we made angels and I did baking but no making (except the angel) for Christmas.
And so we come to the end of 2013

New years eve was spent at home, just the two of us.

We watched TV and drank champagne and and sent  a text to all our family and friends and went to bed!
New Year Resolutions?
I never keep them, but-

• I would like to do more sketching in a sketchbook
• I would like to do much more crafting at home and make lots of Christmas presents next time
• I would like to eat much more healthily and to actually make use of the many, many recipe books I own
• I would like to get back into going swimming once a week.

Who knows what 2014 has in store for us?
