Dear all,
This post is going to make me cry. Since I haven't done a starting point post this year... this is what I will do this year sort of thing ... I now will need to try to remember all my wips. And also since I was doing so poorly on my goals I changed half way to a broad goal of 25 finishes (regardless of size). So this included a lot of smaller projects... but the goal was met.

I will now need to say my goodbyes. This post has taken me quite number of days, of uploading and editing. One thing I have learnt from this ... I am going to have a clear starting point for next year's Wipocalypse. So expect that sometime soon, and the update of the tab. You can see a few new SAL ones have sprung up already. I am starting them in 2014, as well as getting a new finishes tab then too (the other one is getting rather long).
Till soon, when I might update you on craft fairs and such like (something I have been promising for some time now),
Wow! Lija, don't cry - gorgeous stitching all around. I particularly love the makeup bag. You have done a lot this year, may your needle be swift in 2014! Merry Xmas and lots of hugs, Kaye
ReplyDeleteYou've had quite a busy year! I love your biscornu finishes - they look so great! And my favorites are the makeup bags. You did such a lovely stitching job on everything, Lija! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else. You should be proud of all your achievement this year. You've done really well with 25 finishes. And your Wips are coming along beautifully. Have a great Christmas and looking forward to more your posts in 2014. Take care stunner
