You know how I don't do New Years Resolutions but instead prefer to do one thing new or try something new every month etc. for the year. Also seeing it is a bit quieter in the lead up to the silly season thought everyone could think of something new they have done this year. Will start the ball rolling.
When I went down to Timaru and Geraldine early in the year we called past a recycle shop in Ashburton and found a lovely grey embroidery kit that I wanted for the canvas fabric alone. Brought it home and scratched the corner of the painted design and it came off (luckily) so scrubbed it to get the painted outline off and turned it into a wall hanging with mother of pearl buttons and petersham and lace designs over it.
Stayed in Kaikoura for the first time ever on the way back from a Picton and Blenheim trip.
Went to see a lovely waterfall I hadn't ever stopped at before for the first time.
Taught myself how to make a fabric covered button from an old tin kit of my late Grandmothers as one day I made a lace jacket and could not find a single button to match so it was a good time to learn to do it properly.
Made a witches winter solstice chocolate nut ring cake for the first time and it was yummy.
Stayed in Ashburton for the first time overnight when I went down to their Boulevard Day. As the trip is only about 1.5 hours never normally bother to stay there.
Read quite a few books that I would not normally read and actually enjoyed them. Mind you I have read so many biographies this year too and really enjoyed Mary Berry's biography as well.
Made double sided bunting for the first time this weekend. Something I have never tried to do before.
Restored and repainted an old table for the first time.
Joined a new online site which I quite enjoy.
Won't bore everyone to death with everything else but I am sure you have done some new things this year too.
Best of 2015
