14 Projects in 2014 - in memory of Soulie

Not a very exciting pic, but I did get started on my 50 Morsbags. I've made 12, which went to my daughter's book group.

I'm unlikely to get all of the other 38 done before the end of the year, so that'll be a carry over/ work in progress next year.

Love all the finished projects - what a wonderful variety of techniques and subjects

I'm claiming 2 more credits towards my challenge total, even although they were not on my original list.

These are costumes for 2 of my grandchildren.

First, there's my take on Elsa's dress from "Frozen".

Then there's an Emmet (from "The Lego Movie") costume.

Also managed to do a couple of birthday cards - one for my daughter, plus a spare.

Beautiful stocking, vikki.

I won't finish the 14 projects I planned, but I will finish at least 14 projects

I think that may be the situation I'm going to find myself in. Here's an update on how things are going from the 'proper' list anyway. As can be seen, the phase where I seemed to cross them off at the speed of sound has long since passed and I'm now at speed of snail instead!!:p

1) [STRIKE]Rework ladybird stumpwork[/STRIKE] Done!
2) [STRIKE]Peach rose needle painting[/STRIKE] Done!
3) [STRIKE]Yellow Welsh Poppy needle painting[/STRIKE] Done!
4) [STRIKE]Tudor Lady cross stitch[/STRIKE] Done!
5) Painted Ladies embroidery 15% done Current WIP
6) [STRIKE]Japan themed stitched piece[/STRIKE] Done!
7) [STRIKE]Finish peacock feather embroidery[/STRIKE] Done!
8) [STRIKE]Ring cushion for Bohwei and Marion[/STRIKE] Done!
9) Spring themed stitched piece 5% done Maybe I'll get to it in December
10) [STRIKE]Blackwork samples[/STRIKE] Done!
11) [STRIKE]Blackwork picture[/STRIKE] Done! Simplified, but done
12) Paradise island cross stitch 20-25% done Current WIP
13) Butterfly stumpwork November project, I hope
14) [STRIKE]Face stumpwork[/STRIKE] Done!

I do have some little cosmetic purses to make up before the end of the year and I did one other small piece in August, so I should make my 14, but can't guarantee the above will be finished. We'll see....

3 Hallowe'en cards done, for my grandchildren. That completes my October cardmaking.

And I've added pics of Teddy Elsa and Wee Ted Emmet - outfits to match their owners' costumes. I think Wee Ted reminds me of a Chippendale, or a member of YMCA, lol - he needs a jumper under his safety vest!

Vikki the stocking looks amazing and sweetcarer I love that work. I am going to be like some I may finish 14 - but not my original 14. Returning to full time teaching has been /will be better for the finances but rubbish for my crafting. Will try and post my update tomorrow before the next crazy half term is underway. How do I update? Do I copy my original post and then type finished?
