It’s that time of year again…
…to wrap things up and take a look at the past year.
It’s been a busy year here on Delia Creates, probably my busiest yet. Out of 170 posts here are some of my favorites:
I released two patterns this year. A sewing one…
and a crochet one…
and one for Five and Ten Designs…
I also released a few free patterns as well:
Modern baby boy leather booties.
Girl’s flexible waist skirt, sizes newborn through juniors.
(For a full list of all my free patterns go HERE.)
I had fun with all my projects, but there are a few that were extra exciting to put together…
A holiday dress for my daughter.
Learning how to make sourdough bread from scratch.
This leather snap scarf I made for Jo-Ann’s Fall Look Book.
This copper mother-daughter matching skirt and pair of shoes combo.
…and this toddler sleeping bag, which is probably my favorite project for the year!
I feel so, SO blessed to have been able to work with Mollie Makes, Jo-Ann, Craftsy, and SewCanShe this year as well.
And I feel incredibly blessed to be on this blogging journey with you! Thank you for being the best readers that a blogger could ask for. Thank you for your kind comments and encouraging emails. Blogging takes a lot of time, creative effort, blood, sweat, tears, and lots of “am I totally crazy for wanting to do this!?” kind of moments. Your support means so much to me and helps keeping me pushing and dreaming. I only hope that I do the same for you. That in the quest for creating beauty everyday, you see how capable and absolutely freaking awesome you are!! 🙂
Best wishes for a 2015 filled with joy and big dreams!
So many great projects. I just made the sleeping bag. My girls love it and it was so easy to make. Thank you for all your free patterns you post!! I love your blog. You have great style.
Thank you so much Stephanie! It makes me so happy to hear that your girls are loving their new sleeping bag!
Thank you Delia for sharing and inspire to a lot of projects! Your pictures are wonderful.
Best wishes for the new year from a cold and snowy Sweden.

Thank you so much Annica! Happy New Year to you as well!
Thank you so much for lots of inspiring posts! I love the projects for Natalie. I made a black apple doll with orange hair and painted a pink doll stroller black for my 1-year-old daughter this Christmas. She loves them!Thank you, Delia! I wouldn’t try them without this blog.
Wishing you and your family a happy New Year from Japan.
Thanks Yuki! I am so glad she loves her mama made doll and stroller! You’re such a good mama. Happy new year to you and yours as well!!
You had a rockin’ year! Love all these projects so much, your style is infectious in a most amazing way. 🙂
Thank you so much Anna! Your good opinion means so much to me.
Delia – I have to confess that I do not sew (never have) but I just love receiving your blog posts in my email. You include posts on so many other topics and your positive attitude and creative know-how really helps inspire me in my own (non-sewing) endeavors. I am always encourage to try and learn to sew from your blog too – perhaps that will be one of my 2015 goals! Best to you and your family!
Nichole,
Your comment is especially touching to me. Thank you for such kind words. It fills me up to know that I am brightening your days and inspiring you to create. Best to you and yours as well!

Oh my those booties! You know we’re already hooked on the ties. Don’t know how I missed them the first time around but Teddy needs some of those ASAP too cute
Thanks Marissa! I only made the pattern for newborn size, but I know you can adjust the pattern to get it to work, you sewing whiz you!
You’re such an inspiration Delia! Thank you for all you share–your blog is one of my favorites! 🙂
