The customary 2011 year in review (I did forget to do this last year):
I've attended the ASG conference (and joined American Sewing Guild) in LA - and met some more bloggers and sewers in the sewing community (online and off).
I've completed two slopers - one top and one skirt (at Sew-La). I have them hanging in my sewing room:
And, finished a fitted pair of jeans this year (Jennifer Stern's Jeans pattern and class (Jennifer's Webpage). I count those as my notable accomplishments.
Specifically, I sewed the following (fitted) garments:
(1) 3 skirts
(2) 2 tops
(3) 1 pair jeans
(4) 1 knit top (not fitted, unfortunately)
(5) 1 pair shorts
(6) 1 pair of shorts for Jonathan
(6) 1 sew-along Burda pair of pants
(7) 2 dresses
and a bunch of doggie bags, and other home dec projects!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 12 garments!
That's not too shabby considering I traveled last year, and we were minus one attorney - hopefully, I'll be a bit more productive this year.
I really look forward to posting my garments - it keeps me motivated and I do love to see what everyone else is posting as well. I read my Google Reader every morning - so even if I'm not posting I'm reading blogs. I think I also receive a certain satisfaction from this blog - so I'm keeping at it - although I am very very slow at posting during certain parts of the year.
Every blog opens me to someone else's ideas about sewing, and life - it does allow me to feel more engaged with the sewing community. I also have quite a few bicycling and quilting blogs I follow.
What about you? I'm dying to see the End of Year counts!

A very good year, congratulations!
and thank you for your kind comment on my daughter's dress
Thanks Carolyn! I did love that fabric and the dress on your daughter - breathtaking, really.
You were very productive! I've never kept a count, but that's where my blog comes in handy, since I post everything there. Good idea for me to go back and look at that...
I know I think I would have figured it out but I had to check my blog:) Oh, well, I felt like I made more:)
