I already showed you what I was up to around the house in 2010, but of course that’s not all I write about here on Making it Lovely. Here are some of my favorite things from the past year.
I added three new Making it Yours editions.
This was probably my favorite style post of the year. I actually bought that dress, and I wore it like crazy (until my expanding belly would no longer fit).
I learned that I am not an inspiration board kind of person. I find them too cluttered!
I discussed my thoughts on blog sponsorship and advertising.
I spoke at the first Alt Design Summit (which is coming up again in just a few weeks). I’m bummed that I can’t go again this year, but it’s just three weeks before my due date.
I attended the Mighty Summit, and came away feeling incredibly inspired.
The Halloween mask that I made was in the October issue of Better Homes & Gardens!
And a whole new section was added to Making it Lovely: The Filing Cabinet! Have you been checking it out? I post daily (often more than once) with fun finds and extras.
Tomorrow I’ll have my third and final recap of 2010: The personal stuff.

January 6, 2011 at 9:20 ami love all your style post. I know this is a home blog, but I really dig your style. I was never into skirt and dresses, but you have given me ideas on how to style them so they look great on me. Also with the recent talk about Frye boots, I had to go out and try a pair. I am convinced. I bought a pair of Carsons in dark brown. I lovvve them.:)
Keep up the great work.

January 6, 2011 at 9:25 amI also LOVE your style posts. I am a sucker for every single item you pick out, and I actually ended up buying Fossil’s Janelle Ghillie flat after seeing them in one of your collections. I absolutely love them and have gotten lots of compliments. Keep up the good work.

January 6, 2011 at 12:48 pmI am fairly new to your blog (I started reading in November after I stumbled across you on Twitter). The accessories blogger in me must know, where did you get that necklace in your photo from the design summit?! I love it!

January 8, 2011 at 11:18 pmHi! I don’t comment often (shame, I know) but I wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog. I love they Making It Yours series and style posts especially, and often find such a trove of other goodies here. I’m also expecting baby #2 this year, so I enjoy hearing about your progress in house and family as you move towards that. Hope you’re doing well theses days, that the home stretch is good to you, and that your new little boy arrives safely and sweetly!
