It’s been a great year!
Personal
* This year my other half, Maksim, proposed to me and I said yes. Now I got my self into planning a wedding, like I was not busy enough already. Not complaining though :), he is a great guy. Among his other wonderful qualities he support my yarn habits and encourages to buy more. Did I tell you I have a storage room for my yarn?
* This year a beautiful baby girl, my soon-to-be god daughter, Arianna Alexandra Bell, made her appearance into this world.
* This year for the first time in seven years I huged my parents…
*This year I became a cat owner. As a side note: I never was a cat person, I did not even like cats, until Miley walked into my life. She supervises my every crochet attempt, helps with ball winding (NOT), and get a lot of custom made toys. Spoiled little thing
Professional/ crochet related
* This year I released my first patterns for sale. There is my Ravelry pattern store. I have 5 patterns available for now, and had several people buy them, which makes me very happy. It also supports my expensive yarn habits and motivates me to create more.
* This year I had my first publication in a Crochet Magazine, in THE crochet magazine.
* This year I had 3 patterns published in Crochet Patter a Day calendar, and one of them won a second place.
* This year I started teaching crochet classes at a new venue, Bridgewater Commons mall in NJ and it’s been great!
I have high hopes and expectations of the 2011, let’s see how will it all play out.
Farewell 2010, Welcome 2011, Happy New Year!!!
