A look back at January 2012 with their updates and my 2013 goals-
* Photo Diary- I undertook the ‘Diary’ posts in December with the goal of taking pictures on a more regular basis. This year I want to continue doing it with the addition of portraits and photo stories (similar to what I did for Carolina On My Mind.)
Update Photo Diary Series- A top goal for 2012 was to really work with my camera. I challenged myself to take photographs at least three days a week. Hard at times…but worth the effort.
In 2013- The diary series has encouraged me to begin a second blog called ‘Louped‘ for my photography work.
** Decorating@ Nibs- This series began with sixteen different ways to decorate a fireplace mantel. Lately, I’ve been concentrating on table settings. I have more of these… along with ideas for window treatments and D.I.Y. crafts scheduled for the spring.
Update Decorating@Nibs- I finished up my series of table settings which was fun. I had to skip the window treatments I had planned because the home I wanted to use was unavailable. However, I did manage to create a few D.I.Y crafts…Modern Romantic Stool, Paper Craft, Milkweed Pod Ornament, Printed Envelope Card, Door Decoration, Gift Tags and Pinwheel Table Centerpiece.
My friend Carrie brought over a box of dollhouse furniture that became the springboard to do a bunch of small scale projects.
In 2013- I have several decorating ideas that I’m going to implement in my own old house. One involves this space.
*** Garden Notes- My husband and I are planning to build something for our yard. Here’s a hint.
Update Garden Notes- Our shed project got started over Labor Day Weekend. It was a race with the cold weather to get it sealed up with cedar shakes and painted.
In 2013- I’ll need one or two warm days this spring to complete the painting. And Scott still has put in the electrical fixtures. I can’t wait to show Nibs readers the finished product. :)
**** Weddings & Fashion- I’m collaborating with Margot on a few special posts so stay tuned.
Update Weddings & Fashion- Our first issue of ‘Make Do And Wed‘ finally got done. Margot and I were both pleased with the results. We also pulled together these fashion shoots… D.I.Y.- Bandana Top, D.I.Y.- Detachable Collars and Day Shift.
In 2013- Margot, Hillary and I have some surprises we’re hoping to do in the coming months.
