Happy New Year! I feel like 2014 is going to be a good one.

I’m starting this year off with a photo post. I’m going to continue these posts every week, and share recent photos that inspire me. I want to practice taking better photos with the camera I’m borrowing! So here goes, it’s week ONE.

Fabric stash got folded and neatly stacked with my quilt books. Ready to start on new projects!

The leaves are falling all over the backyard. December in Austin has been cold, then sorta warm, then cold again, and it’s confusing. I didn’t cover my plants up when it dipped below freezing a couples weeks ago and some of them didn’t make it. Looking forward to planting some new ones in a month or so.

Hung up these prints I got for John for Christmas. Beer and food, can’t be beat.

Inspired by my dad’s shop. His collection of electrical tape is like a man’s version of washi tape.

Painting by my mom. I love seeing what she’s making.

Recipes marked in my Home Made cookbook. Sausage and Bell Pepper Risotto was yum.

Hamilton outside in the sun.

Pretty pink evening sky.

I hope to be updating this space more frequently in 2014 and taking on more projects. I can’t wait to get started and share more! What are your plans for the new year?
