Rachel Teodoro: year in review

Best of Holy Craft 2015 a year in review

I can't believe how quickly this year came in and now it's nearly over! I've been doing this Holy Craft year in reviews since I started my blog back in 2010. It's hard to believe that I'm going on six years of blogging! That's a lot of projects a lot of random thoughts and a lot of garage sales! In case you missed it, you can find the best of year in reviews here: 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 This is always one of my favorite posts all year because it's fun to look back at the projects that I worked on this year. Won't you take a look back on 2015 with me and see some of those projects?

Holy Craft year in review

I can hardly believe that 2014 is over. It was probably the best year of my life! Mostly because I got to take an amazing trip to Africa, a country that I have longed to go to for as long as I can remember, and an experience I can hardly put out of my mind for even a second.

Top projects from 2011

I have been taking a little blogging break this week to enjoy the time off with my family. My parents and younger brother have been visiting us this past week from Arizona so I have taken some time off of blogging to be with them.
But, I don't want to let the year go by without highlighting some of my favorite projects from 2011. It's been a busy year for our family with a new home, a new puppy and a new community. Holy Craft has grown by leaps and bounds this year and I look forward to what 2012 has in store. If you missed some of my past projects, here they are in a nice tidy month by month package.
January
The year started off with lots of unpacking and settling in. I did manage to get my new silhouette machine humming and made these house numbers for my front door.

I also made this hand stamped initial necklace

February
The month was a bit slow for me as I tried to make our house feel like a home and get into the routine of a having a new puppy.
I shared with you my skills on a lathe though and featured this ring that I made my husband out of a hunk of stainless steel.

March
I started March with a four part series I called "or current resident". I was getting magazine, after magazine, after magazine for the old resident and took advantage of the inspiration that I found from them. This shirt is one of the things that I made.

April
We celebrated my daughter's 9th birthday with a spa party with posts here, here, and here

May
May brought you this book page EAT sign out of vintage utensils

and a tutorial on how to make a fruit platter.

June

June brought you potato sack pillows

and DIY mercury glass

July

In July, I completed a master bedroom makeover. I spray painted all of our existing bedroom furniture and gave our bedroom a face lift. Check out the before.

My husband also made me a new mirror for our bedroom.

August

I took a little bit of a blog break to complete my second and third half marathons (then quit running and told you about it here) and to enjoy the last month of our kids summer at home.

I did manage to complete the "or current resident" series and shared this ruffle shirt with you.

September

In September I shared with you the "She's about to Pop" baby shower that I co-hosted. The shower provided several posts through September. You can read more about the sweets and treats here, and the popcorn containers here.

October

While September started baby season, October only continued it. I made two different versions of the 12 month onesies. You can find them here and here. I must say, it's been fun to see the babies wearing these onesies as they grow each month.
