We've arrived at New Years Eve, that must mean it's time for a round up of my craftwork during the past year.
I've seen quite a few collages recently and thought I would show my finishes this year that way too.
Quite a productive year when you see it displayed this way instead of a list with more knitting than stitching......... 26 knitting - 18 stitching - 1 feltwork
Many thanks for visiting me during 2017. Your support and encouragement has meant a lot to me through the good times and the not so good news we had.
2017 brought things I had not expected into my life with health issues that will continue on and at times its going to test us as a family but we are determined to walk the pathway that comes with our heads held high and hopefully keep a positive outlook and take advantage of the good things that we have in our life. We are very fortunate compared to so many.
I'm looking forward to being part of the blogging community in the new year to come and my continued friendship across the 'webwaves' with you all.
My stitching bug will resurface again and needle and thread will find its way into my quiet moments as well as the calm and relaxing knitting that has seemed so much easier recently. I haven't made any plans for the year. Earleir plans this year were to start my stitching year with the wonderful Cricket Collection seasons Spring chart that I won from Katie earlier this year. They are so lovely and I still keep looking at them and thinking I might like to give them a go, so who knows, when the stitching bug grabs you, sometimes you just can't resist!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, I hope 2018 is filled with all your hopes and dreams.
Love and blessings

You've made some wonderful things this year, it does show how productive you've been when set out in this way. The knitting bug has really taken hold of me too and there's plenty more knitting projects waiting in the wings so I think it's something that will continue into 2018. Wishing you and your family all the very best for the new year.

I do love a collage! You really have done very well in 2017 especially considering your health issues.
ReplyDeleteI do wish I could fit the Cricket Collection in but maybe the year after? I do like a long term plan...
Such a beautiful and creative year, Julie, and I know this has been a wonderful outlet and provided some relief from your health worries.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the distress that your health news caused you and your family... But, you have met it with such bravery and a wonderful positive attitude that will help immensely. Even though I don't know exactly what you are facing, I know it is serious and I truly hope and pray that 2018 will bring better days. Sending a warm hug from way across the ocean to you--did you feel it? (And my little Bluebelle Bunny sends one, too, and wants you to know how happy she is in this bunny-lover's house!).
The collages certainly do give you a chance to showcase your lovely work, Julie. Best of luck with your health issues over 2018. hugs, Kaye
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Julie! You made quite a few wonderful projects in 2017!
