Hello 2009!
One of the best parts about the year changing, besides the fireworks and yummy food, is getting to start a new calendar. All those days, just waiting to be filled, a lot of shiny new time waiting to be spent. I have no idea what 2009 will bring with it, but I'm looking forward to finding out! :)
Filling in a new calendar is also a chance to look back on the past year. All the things you did, the people you met and stuff that happened. This ending year I made lots of new Rag Pets, started this blog, and I took part in the Plush You show, which was something I've never done before and a great experience, and I took part in Give Away Day, which was a super fun thing to do. I also attended three weddings, spent a lovely weekend in Stockholm, visited family and had family visit us and celebrated various birthdays and anniversaries. I'm amazed every time by how much one year can hold when I look back on it!
This little blog has had 5550 visitors since it was set up about six months back last summer (Thank you ever so much everyone!), and I hope there'll be lots more of you this coming year. I also hope to make many, many, many more Rag Pets and to finally get my shop up and running in 2009! I also hope that the coming year will be filled with happiness and joy and sunshine and all the little things that make life great.
My New Year's resolutions are to get that darn shop up, to spend more time with friends, to smile more and to live more.
I wish you all a wonderful, amazing and happy year!
The new year is so full of possibilities!
I love the dolly's dress. Do you have a pattern?

I love all the pictures on your blog! I look forward to the Rag Pets shop this year. You could make a lovely calendar for sale with all of your lovely pictures of the Rag Pets creations. I will definitely by popping by regularly this year.

Oooh, I simply love your rag pets and I can't wait to see them available in a shop. I particularly like pic on this post - too cute.
My Maisie Doll family would love to have a rag pet come and live with them in Australia!
