Sewing, sewing, sewing, sewing and a bit of knitting thrown in for good measure!For Christmas you need to go here.
So I hope you don't mind that I have bombarded you all with photos!
A few of you have asked how I did the collages - well I downloaded the free photo programme Picasa from the internet and making collages is one of the many functions. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I wish I was a better photographer but unfortunately I don't wish it enough to learn how to use a camera properly - ooops!

That is so funny that you got to go to the big meet lol--- your pics are great , I don't think you appreciate just how much crafting you've done until you see it altogether like this - you definately had a busy year
I could make a similar photo mosaic for the whole year, not one for each month. You've done so much.
Plus, I got my favourite mini-quilt and met someone really nice through your swap. :o)
Thanks and well done, you.
Great pics Lucy! That Ballarat post is hysterical -- I love your braids LOL! I think you should name 2008 your year of the mini-quilt!
Blimey, travelling to Oz looks like it has the effect of making you look younger! How cool is that?!
Lovely collages Lucy - so nice to look back through your year and see all the wonderful things you made and did.

Me again... that was just so funny!
Lol!! Glad you got to go!!!!Great photos and yes we LOVE Picassa:)
That's so funny, it made me laugh out loud! Love the photo mosaics, I always wondered how it was done so I shall go and download that Picasa thing pronto!
:)
How fun to see that you made it to the blogmeet! I am so happy to see that I'm not the only one with a wall of small quilts.
Hi Lucy, don't think we have met officially but I'm emma from Ballarat Patchwork. I spent the day with you at the blogmeet, taking care of you, feeding etc.
Funny day, we all had a great time! Feel like I know you already.....em
My you do get to travel Miss Locket !! The pictures are so funny, I had to take a second look.

I still can't believe you posted yourself all that way to crash Trashy's party!!
Great collages Locket - you've made so many lovely things. Wonder what 2009 will look like?

What a great way to remember the past year. You should print them out and put them in a journal.
