Hello all and a Happy New Year, it’s been a very loooong time
since I last posted, I haven’t been in a particularly good place, struggling
with life in general and all it throws at us…but I made some BIG decisions at
the end of 2014 and this year I’m determined will be much
better.
I’m not going to go much into the whys and wherefores of the struggles,
but health, finance and study were all part of the problems, by removing the
study, I have assisted in helping the health and the finance is something which
remains an issue until I win the lottery, more frugal living is something I’m
attempting, cutting costs where I can and making things stretch a little further
wherever possible.
2014 wasn't really a good year for crafting, basically as I
didn’t really have the time, with juggling 2 jobs, study, 2 growing demanding
children and all the other ‘stuff, needles crossed 2015 will be more productive,
without the stress of it all.
I managed a few finishes, first was a small chair throw/blanket
which I crocheted for my bedroom to lay over a wicker chair, its make from James
Brett Cotton On Yarn, a lovely mix of cotton and acrylic, in pretty spring like
shades.
I completed this for the iStitch group Exchange, it’s Sew French
Blue, I finished it as a pinkeep trimmed with lace.
My Yarndale Mandala, which I was most proud to see making an
appearance in the programme!

Teacher’s thank you gifts…
Home for the Holidays by the Drawn Thread, finished as a hanging
ornament…

There you go…not a very productive year craftwise, but I hope to
do a little more this year…I’m currently working on a blanket for Miss M’s
bedroom…
Also 2 new year long cross-stitch projects, both by the Frosted Pumpkin
Stitchery
I am hoping to stitch each month in each corresponding month….in
theory that is!!
as well as starting a patchwork throw for my bedroom…
Busy busy busy….
Catch you soon…

Lovely to see you posting again Elisa! You had some fab finishes last year. x
Oh Elisa it is lovely to see you back again - welcome you have been missed. Lovely photos. Adore the blanket. I am finding all things yarn easier than cross stitch at the moment - I find it more relaxing xx
