Ooops!  If you downloaded earlier than noon cst 12-20-18, you got my "directors cut" long version of episode 16...sorry about that. This is the edited episode 16 with a new segment on making vanilla extract!  So be sure that you have episode 16 that is 52:40 minutes long.It is the last episode of 2018! Do you find at the end of every year, you are marveling at how it went by so fast?  Well, here we are again, nearing the end of another year.  When I reflect back on this past year, I realize I did more than I thought.  I put together a Best Sewing Stuff 2018. There were a lot of notions, patterns and tools that I used a lot over 2018 and these are the best of them.I share my look ahead for 2019, which for me means setting goals for the year.  Lastly, I update on what's happening here in Chicagoland - what I'm watching, and reading, including youtube and netflix plus a new movie at the actual theater, as well as a Christmas story by Frances Dowell and a long awaited library book.Find links to the products I talk about in the shownotes https://stephaniesochadesign.com/podcast-make-and-decorateHappy Holidays to you and yours!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/makeanddecorate)
