I have nearly completed 1 of 4 pages, but is is not the most exciting cross stitch so will then do something else before going back to do a second page!

This will probably be my last post of the year as won't finish anything else so Merry Christmas everyone!

Gah, so far I'm an epic failure in this, we have had so many 'annoyances' to have to deal with this year that I just haven't had the time for myself to sit and fiddle with crafts I am hoping that I will get some time over Christmas, but not holding out much hope!!

Two more Christmas presents made. I used a mohair mix yarn and sewed 104 sequins/beads on to the gloves. I hope my Granddaughters like them.

I'm probably not going to complete my original list of 14 but I have added new items instead and my advent garland will be keeping me busy for the next few days.
I have some new additions to share, see the photos on Flickr:

So many lovely things! I've been off the radar for a wee bit so haven't commented much lately. Great year of crafting - looking forward t another!

mum2one, I'm impressed with the dedication of sewing on all those sparklies! Well worth it though.

owl fan, are you working from a pattern for your advent knits? They're fab.

Well, here are the last of my cards for this year (apart from more Christmas cards that I have still to do).

I'm declaring challenge met. I'm looking forward to reviewing what I've done over the year. I'll post a list.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

Hello everyone,

I posted this originally in wrong forum - doh!

Getting closer - one to go

Band 16


and the wee close up


This band contained ray stitches, jessica stitches, diamond rhodes stitches and lattice stitches. Yes, they are not to pattern - done a wee variation of my own.

So well on track for finishing by end of year. If I don't get on before Christmas - Merry Christmas one and all.

Kind wishes to all,

sweetcarer

Been a bit absent from mse - very busy at work :-( day off today whoopee and catching up. Ading another 2 sets of advent crackers and a friendship bracelet. So that moves it up to 11/14. Realising now my ambitions at the beginning of the year far exceeded my time and capabilities, and stressing about craft projects is a million miles from soulie's attitude to crafting. So have 3 more gentle and accomplishable crafts planned for the final days of 2014, and very much looking forward to 15 for 2015. I have really enjoyed looking at all your fab creations.

Ahhh know exactly what you mean! But you can never foresee the dramas ahead of you and I'm always really positive at the beginning of the year, pessimistic by the middle and downright deflated by the end of the year - been like that for the last 6 years, SO am reeeeally hoping this next year will turn the tide........OR if it doesn't that will be 7 years bad luck in a row, but I don't remember breaking any mirrors at any point grrr!

However, although not on the original list, they should have been lol, and seeing as a I had a couple of gaps on it......I have made our Christmas card and cake so far





Mince pies are also done, just the Yule log to go now

Merry Christmas everyone.

Hope everyone is well.

Well I have finished band 17


And its wee close up


So that means I am finished but I will keep you in suspense, as I have still to put the dedication on it.

Keep well,
