Hello there, sweetpea.
What's all that crying for?
Here I am again.
Didn't I tell you I'd be back?
Shall we have a little peep at what we've been up to over the last twelve months?
If you'd like a look at any of the posts I'm highlighting here then just click on a photo that takes your fancy and it'll take you to that particular post (or group of posts). Cool, eh?!
There's been Modern Country Fashion...
And Modern Country Interiors....We live in an Edwardian house nestled in the Cotswolds. It needs a stack of work but I love every step of the planning involved...and I love sharing it all with you on Modern Country Style.
This year, I've shared some of what we've done with our kitchen and dining room (there'll be more coming your way very soon).

Such a huge change from the giant egg-yolk that was the before...
We're also in the process of working on our dining room, so far turning it from this...
to this...

I took you through my The Beginner's Guide To Painting Furniture...

Did you see these beautiful crocheted shoes I made for a friend?
There's been cushions...
This one was perfect for using up fabric samples...
...and I made this one for Valentine's Day for my gorgeous husband. 1999 was the year we got married...
{I know, I know, doesn't every man hope for a cushion for Valentine's Day?!!}
I made these rosebud initials for a bit more Valentine's Day atmosphere....
...and then there was the blanket-stitched felt heart...
and my felt Christmas pud...so plump and round
And that's just a taster of what I've been up to over the past year.
I so hope you've enjoyed every step as much I have.

What's to come, you want to know?
Oooooh.....you'll have to wait and see....but I can reveal that it'll be chockablock full of Modern Country Style....

An Edwardian house nestled in the Cotswolds? I wouldn't care if it's a wreck it sounds romantic and dreamy.
The renovations are lovely, you have such excellent taste and talent.

Oh, there is so much I've already missed out on! I'll have to catch up - but it does make me excited about the forth-coming posts!
The craft ideas and the home-revamp and modern country clothing style posts and pictures all look so lovely.

Hello Sarah! I hope you had a lovely day!
It was fun to read your year in review, and see of all of your cute projects again! {I so LOVED the pillow you made for your anniversary last year!} It has been fun to follow along with you this year, and you can bet I'll be doing the same this year! :)
Have a beautiful Friday, my friend!

You've accomplished a lot in the last year, my dear. Always a pleasure to catch a glimpse of your purty kitchen.

What a fun year it has been, Sarah! I'm excited to be along for the ride in 2012. I think you should have included your coverage of the royal wedding/Kate Middleton style (not intended to be a criticism, but a compliment--I LOVED all your royal wedding coverage). Anyway, you are such a fun blogger to read. Welcome back!
Always love seeing what you're up to ~ so glad you're back.
Cindy
