I know I promised to have posted earlier ... but it has been really busy with the holidays (and then work) here ... my mum and little brother
Hope everyone's festivities went well, I even managed to get a bit of stitching in. I got my sister a cross stitch present ... a kit for a bookmark. She is almost done with it already!!!

And the photos of stash promised in the lats post:
Please don't feel too disheartened about the lack of meeting your goals in 2014. You have done some wonderful stitching during the year and moved house, which has obviously eaten into your stitching time. Take a deep breath and make some new goals/targets/plans for 2015, or just go with the flow of stitching whatever takes your fancy. Whatever you do, I'll be watching and cheering you on! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, there may have been goals that you didn't reach but have you enjoyed your stitching this year? If so, surely that is the best goal to achieve?
ReplyDeleteWhy not just pick one of your UFO's and work one or two strands at the start of each stitching session. That way you would see progress without feeling like you have to work on something for ages.
Happy New Year, I hope 2015 is a great year for you. xx
Whew! That's a lot of WIPs. Maybe just pick one or two to focus on next year? That might be more achievable. It's beautiful stitching all the same! And enjoy your lovely stash too :D
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, you have some wonderful projects. And no matter if you reached your goals or not, you were stitching and that what counts. I am also always drawn towards the big projects and I would really love ro stitch on them all at the same time, lol. Unfortunately this is not possible. So I rotate and every Monday I pull out a new WIP to stitch on.
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching in 2015!
