Ring Out the Old, Ring In the New

I guess the changing of a year is a good time to look back, see what's been accomplished and look forward and see what's yet to be done.
Hands down the most important event of 2009 for me was the birth of Amit. Nothing I create will ever come near.
That said, I have had a productive year, creativity-wise.
I participated in three exhibits, two with my "FAT" (FibreArts Toronto) Ladies, one-month long exhibits at two branches of the Toronto Public Library and one of mezuzot with the Pomegranate Guild which displayed at Baycrest, and is now a travelling exhibit.
I made two chuppot for two family (either biological or considered family) members.
And numerous other pieces, both utilitarian: Inbal's quilt, Rotem's quilt, a ton of baby quilts -- it's been a good year for babies in the Erez family!, oven mitts, placemats, etc.; and wall hangings.
Blogging has allowed me to post about the experience and conundrums of designing and making these pieces. And the uploaded photos give me a visual record of what I have accomplished.
And I did sell some of my work which is always a boost for the self-esteem.
While I create, I have time to think. And with classical music in the background, what could be better?
So that's looking back.
And looking forward? I'm just going to plug away at creating. It enriches my being. And if I can sell some of it, even better.
