Christmas 2011

Hello my crafting friends,

Well, the ‘most jolliest time of the year’ is almost over… it’s been an incredibly busy time here in the Woodberry Designs Studio. Between internet orders and making stock for markets I’ve been coordinating the Simply Christmas blog event… it’s been hectic!!

I think it’s time now for a change of pace. I’ll be taking a week or so off over Christmas/New Year to recharge my batteries and enjoy some family time. The website and blog will still be operating but I’ll probably only process orders once a day.

I have some really exciting projects coming up in 2012 that have got my creative juices flowing… I can’t wait to share them with you.

 Do you remember the Enid Blyton book The Magic Faraway Tree? As a child I loved reading those books with the ever changing land at the top of the tree. My business is a bit like that tree… every now and then magic happens… [the land at the top of the tree rotates]… and one concept moves on so a whole new one can arrive.

The first obvious change at Woodberry Designs will be an overhaul of the website in January, then the introduction of several new initiatives. To make way for the new I’ll be retiring a lot of the current patterns… kind of like a fresh start to 2012. If you have any patterns on your wish list I suggest you get them now before they are gone.

My mantra for 2012 is ~ Follow your heart. It comes from this quote by an unknown author:

Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first.

Ask questions, then feel the answer.

Learn to trust your heart.

I think 2011 was definitely my year to sit quietly and take it all in. The year entailed many highs with the biggest one celebrating the 20th anniversary of my business and release of my eBook. Unfortunately, it was the eBook that also caused the biggest low… but I’m putting that behind me and moving on. I’m trusting my heart!

It's time for a change and to FOLLOW MY HEART. In 2012 I'll be concentrating on one style in many varied forms. You can expect to see lots of new and exciting patterns across several mediums. There's a new book ready for release, I'm working on 2 e-course ideas, arranging workshops and.... there's even a 'top secret' project underway for early in the year. I think you will like it!

This is such a special time of year and as I reflect on the year that has passed I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for following my creative journey, buying my patterns and eBook, participating in my e-courses… and most of all, for your support and friendship.

May beautiful moments and happy memories surround you and your loved ones with joy this Christmas.

Festive hugs ~ Kerryanne xx
