{Blogiversary Week} A recap of the week

Thank you all for making my blogiversary week so memorable! I read each and every comment and loved hearing your stories and reading your comments!  Like the Oban (city in Scotland) fireworks display for Bonfire Night—my blogiversary week was over too quickly!!

Here’s a recap from the week:

Projects
Well, I managed to only get three of five planned projects done during the week! Seems I was a little ambitious given my hectic work week but I am super happy with what I did get done:

‘My First Dress Revisited’

‘The Hawk’s Eye View Dress”

‘The Bow Sweater”

Reflections
It was great having a dedicated space to reflect on the last year of sewing!  Here's a recap of my reflection posts this week:

• It’s my blogiversary: Highlights  I share the ups and downs of my second year of sewing.  I also reflected on a few memorable sewing projects.

• From 12 to 45 in 12 Months:  A Reflection on Sewing Weekly  In this reflection, I shared my thoughts on this year's challenge of sewing weekly and how much I feel I've grown as a seamstress and how instrumental the online sewing community has been for me this past year!

•  From 1 to 59: The Year of Meet-ups  Recollections of lovely blogger/sewist meet-ups that I was lucky enough to participate in this last year.  

• Supporting Independent and Local Bussinesses  A reflection on some of the amazing independent sewing and local businesses I've been able to support and/or work with. 

• What’s Next  A reflection on what I'm itching to do next!
