Ok, so I know I said I wasn’t going to post until the first of the year, but I thought I would share one last post with you to round out 2013. These are my top 13 favorite project posts from 2013 (you can also check out 2012, 2011 and 2010). It’s always so fun to go back through and look at what I’ve created or cooked over the last year. Thank you all so much for visiting the site and interacting with me via social media. You all are a blessing in my life and I am so excited to see what 2014 has in store for me, my family and The Cottage Mama.
So in no particular order, my top 13 favorite project posts of 2013 were………

Matilda’s Mermaid Birthday Outfit

Ham, Onion and Cheese Quiche Recipe

So those are my top 13 favorite project posts from 2013. Looking back at 2013, this was a really great year. In addition to putting out some fun project tutorials and recipes, I released my first book, released four new patterns, filmed two DVD’s and my first PBS TV show, taught at the Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion in February and July, taught at Riley Blake Designs Fabric Fest and had my own booth for the first time at International Quilt Market……not too bad for a stay-at-home mom of three.
So , tell me what were your favorite posts? And what kinds of posts are you hoping to see for 2014? I always love hearing from you, so feel free to leave me a comment!
