Welcome to blogland me!

I've officially done it - I've succumbed to the world of blogging.  I can't help but think it's a little self indulgent, but I'm hoping on this first day of 2011 it will be a tool to inspire, motivate and get those projects moving!

So I'm kicking of the blog with a few new year resolutions - the ones of a crafty nature that is!
  1. All my presents this year will be home-made.
  2. I aim to share my little tips and tricks to all things related paper piecing with the wider world.
  3. I will make huge progress on all of my paper piecing projects in 2011 (I'm not going to type finish, because lets face it, the first one is really going to be a challenge in itself!).
 I have quite a few quilting friends and they are all a little flabergastered when I tell them of my love for paper piecing.  "It just takes soooooo long" is something I hear quite a bit, but I just love it.  I love the notion that I am making a quilt, not a machine.  I love creating the templates and sitting in front of the telly cutting out all the little bits of paper for my next big project.  

I'm resisting the urge to tell you everything and every project I have on the go right now, because, well, to be honest, if I say it all now what will I blog about next time??? ha ha

If anyone stumbles upon this, I'm working on a hexagon template to post and a little step by step guide to paper piecing hexagons.  I know there is already a lot out there - but one more can't hurt - right?

Until next time....  T x
