1. Introducing Evelyn Anne

So 2011 is officially a good year. We got our happy ending - our beautiful daughter Evie. I thought I'd put together a little photo mosaic from all our FuShMuSh posts this year. As you can see Evie features quite heavily. Aw, she's so beautiful (and clever...)

It's about this time every year that I do my summary of the year that has gone. I usually write about my favourite bits of the year, the stuff we did, the films we saw and the books I read. This year, I've decided to skip it because as far as I'm concerned 2010 sucked. Yes, there was some fun stuff... family holidays, a few weddings and a road trip to Adelaide... but in general it's a year I'd rather forget. So, instead we're looking forward to 2011 and hoping that it is a happier year for the Wilsons. Happy New Year Fushies!

Instead here is a mosaic of all the stuff that I made in 2010.


Jack's Birthday Present, Rainbow Sprite, Sock Monkey: Freddie, Sock Monkey: Alfie, Easter Basket Cupcakes, Cupcakes: A hearts C, Cupcakes: Butterfly cupcakes, I'm yours, Gift: new bubba, Alice and Babo, Gift Guide: Isaac 2010, Gift Guide: HSEV 2010, Lambykins, Monkey: Marius, Cupcakes: Baby shower, Cupcakes: London

Happy New Year fushies! It's definitely the end of an era for the Wilsons. We've left the young, dynamic, exciting city of London and returned to our beloved home city of Sydney. We're definitely going to miss London and all our friends in London. More than anything we're going to miss the mini-break. There is really nothing like jetsetting off to a new country and culture of a weekend.

But, it's not all tears and sadness. 2010 is going to hold many new adventures for us. New jobs, car, new house, new... The Wilsons are really looking forward to the next year.

Farewell 2009... Welcome 2010!
