These last couple of months have been difficult. Nothing life threatening but still difficult. This resulted in me not wanting to be near a computer when I am not at work.
Instead I have read and stitched. I have been able to get quite a bit done. I was going through my notebook that I keep track of my projects (both completed and not yet started) because I wanted to transfer to a new journal. As near as I can tell, I have completed 31 projects. There might be a few very small projects that I have not counted. I am pretty amazed at myself.
Even though I have skipped a month, I am going to finish this years Stitch from Stash 2014 with a final entry.

I don't know what happened to my picture of
the completed part one but I do have it somewhere. :(

I am just loving the colors in this piece
This is a kit one of my co-workers decided to try so she brought it in to work one day and asked me to show her to to start the project. Of course I was excited to share my craft and proceed to go over the basic concepts. By the time I was done, she was just shaking her head and said "I can't do that, the holes are too small (14ct fabric was included). Here, you can have it" I was a little disappointed but understood that this craft is not for everyone. It didn't help that the kit is for an intermediate stitcher and has many 1/4 stitches. So I changed the fabric to a lovely Mocha colored 28ct something (oops can't remember the type of fabric) and started the kit. Once complete, I will frame it and give it back to her.
My measly little start.
I finally pulled this blanket out and worked on it while the weather
was so cold this month. I believe this will fit on a twin bed when complete.
It is sitting on my queen bed in the photo. I figure it is
about only 1/3 of the way complete. I might have to go
and pick up some more cream yarn in order to finish it.
As soon as I pulled it out, my little one asked if I would
Please finish it so she could have it.

I am so happy that I have finally finished the My Garden Journal Series. Now I just need to figure out how to frame the pieces so that I can hang them up.
I have started putting together a list of some of the projects I want to complete in 2015. My list is not written in stone. I know that there will be additions and deletions as the year progresses, but I figure that I can at least have a guideline of what projects I currently own that I want to work on next year.
I must go and put a few X's in the next project.
Ta Ta for Now,
Angela
Before I forget, I am going to participate in next year's Stitch from Stash. Let's see if I can beat my ending balance and complete some of those projects on my list.
