January started with some sadness, although it wasn't the end of the world, my closest friend moved away and a piece of me went with her in the shape of a wall hanging,
February,
we experienced snow and a cold night out in Nottingham celebrating Light Night.
March,
April,
another challenge piece, 'Andromeda ' to interpret 'Time' and
the latest member of our family, Callum, who is now 7 months.
May,
a still unfinished photo collage made in a workshop with Hilary Beattie.
June,
we all celebrated the Queen's 60 year Jubilee.
July,
inspiration in Oslo on a Baltic Cruise.
August,
September,
October,
'Bumpsteads Memories' for the International Quilt Challenge Group.
November,
the highlight of our year, my beautiful stepdaughter got married to her handsome soldier husband.
And finally, December,
2012 has been an amazing year with so many momentous occasions, the Queen's Jubilee, The London Olympics, a special '0' birthday for me, a new baby in the family, a beautiful wedding, a new stitching shop in my home town, the discovery of new members of our family in Canada courtesy of the World Wide Web, and happy time spent with family at Christmas. My best present for Christmas came from my DH's eldest son, who pinched a photo from my facebook page but I forgive him. Look what he gave me! A cover for my iPad with my artwork on, how thoughtful is that?!
2012 has been a very busy and exciting year. I wonder what 2013 has planned for us? However you are celebrating the changeover from one year to the next I hope 2013 is a Happy, Healthy, Rewarding, Creative and Nurtured year for you all.

What a lovely year you've had my friend...I'm sorry about the fact that your dear friend moved away; I know that you will always have a special place for her in your heart.
Lovely blog...Thank you for sharing your year with me.

You've (both) had an amazing year! It seems to go by so quickly! Here's to another great year for you!
What a lovely post Julie - I can't even remember what happened to me last year. Love your hangings and quilts and look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work in 2013
That was a wonderful post - thanks for sharing with us and now you have 2013 to look forward to - life is actually very good isn't it.

What an eventful year and a lovely idea for a post. I was thinking of doing something similar but I'm not sure each month was so eventful for us!
A lovely post Julie.Nice to see your mum looking so well and happy. The I Pad cover is brilliant, what a lovely thoughtful present.
Lets hope 2013 is an even better year my darling sweetness, love DH xxx

What a lovely review, love the ipad case, how thoughtful. Sorry to hear your friend moved away, so did mine in September, but I've seen her twice since, maybe because I make more effort now she's not on my doorstep.
A lovely look back Julie. Have a wonderful New Year. X
Certainly more pluses than minuses & a lot to be grateful for; of course you made most of it happen - here's to lots more energy for next year!
What a smashing review of the year Julie and what a mixture of blessings it has been. All my best for 2013 and I look forward to meeting up at a quilt related event or two.
All the best for 2013 Julie. Lots to look forward to and let's hope it stops raining!!!!
Isn't it amazing when we look back how much we've really done?
