Wow, it nearly time to call 2011 quits. What a magical year we have had at Coco's Closet. A second shopiversary had which I am extremely grateful for. The support of the many new and familiar faces that frequent my little happy place always makes me smile. To be able to work everyday (I know even though I may not be open everyday! I am still at home making stock) doing something I love always leaves me thankful for the crayola caddy I received as a child every Christmas, yep everyone I can remember I got coloring pencils or paints or crayons. And how lucky am I getting to draw every single day......
This year saw Coco's house The Sew Cool, Sew Skool through Forster's winter hibernation and hibernate we did not!! 15 weeks worth of creative lessons, sunshine girls and boys, cookies and craft, projects galore and completion badges to boot!!! These fabbo classes were enjoyed by some beautifully creative minds and I had as much fun teaching as my learners did learning.
I also had the pleasure of my Break Thru friends throughout 2011 and these amazing young people complete great craft and sewing projects always smiling and willing to have a go at whatever I have in store for them to make.
Whilst 2011 seemed to fly by at a freakishly fast rate, is that an age thing? It is nice to take a minute to reflect on how lucky I am to be surrounded by the beauty that simply is my life. My Mr, my hilariously funny Mr.Magoo and Miss.Muffet, my family, my friends, my shop, my whopper coffee, my addition to shopping - even if it's only window shopping, my pencils and paper, My melting moments, my beautiful surrounds, the beaches and the lake and the sun......this is what makes my happy place. Yesterday the window at Coco's has been filled with my larger than life wish birds....
I wish you Bonne Annee, but more than that I wish you happy days, memories, love, kindness and all things good.... here's to an amazing 2012. Take care and enjoy all the little things that make up your wonderful life.
