Where does the time go?
This is the fourth year we’ve done a “Happy New Year” ornament. (Doesn’t it just sound fancier to say “Bonne Année”?)
I enjoy designing these each year, and I think you can tell I was thinking about late winter/early spring flowers when I designed this one! Of course, when I designed it flowers were still blooming around the yard!
I think it's safe to say that I really like this Pistachio Frappe linen by Grace Notes Fabrics. I first used it for Vineyard Faire. But since then, I keep using up every little scrap of it I have left in different things. It's just sort of the perfect green-but-not-too-green.
If you are new around here, you can find the previous year's ornaments over on our Freebies page.

It may be a little early to say it...but Happy New Year!

I'm Robin, the designer behind October House. You've found my journal, where I talk about stitching, sewing and anything else that might catch my fancy!
Make something beautiful today!
