2016 In Review

Happy New Year! I hope you and yours have had time to relax (and sew) this season! I know we partied too hard, because all four of us are sick over here – but not to worry, thankfully also on the mend thanks to my mom’s trusty Broccoli Cheese soup recipe (which we’ve eaten too many nights in a row to speak of – it’s easy and delicious!)

I love turning over a new year and talking about the last one. It is especially fun to tally up the posts you loved most in the past year. Since the #bestnine of Instagram 2016 were posted last week, it seemed fitting to post more Top 9′s. All blog-related this time – your favorite posts from 2016, and your all-time favorites. Plus, I had to choose my favorite Top 9 blogged makes from 2016 as well. Let me know if we’ve missed your favorite in the comments below!
