A Look Back at 2012

2012 was a big year here at Alida Makes.

In 2012 I reached 1000 followers!  Yay!

I bought my own URL, so instead http://imakestuff4fun.blogspot.com became simply alidamakes.com.

I tested a lot of patterns by Melly Sews:

Bubble Dress, Blazer, Saddle Shoulder Polo, Ruffle Cardi, Basic Tank

I got obsessed with accessories:

Ruffled goodness, Giant Bow, Necklace, Clutch, Sequined Scarf

I had my very first "viral" post, you may have seen this on Pinterest:

Nautical Diva Tutorial

Which led to a biweekly Pinspiration gig on Love Stitched:

Tribal Sweatshirt, Sequin Cardi, Bow Sweater Refashion, Turquoise Boots Tutorial

One thing I love about blogging is you never know when opportunity will come knocking.  One minute you have exactly  4 readers, and next thing you know you have a post with 50,000 views.  Thank you for sticking around here, I can't wait to see what 2013 brings!
