Looking back at this last year, 2023 has been the least successful in the amount of stitching I've done since I started this blog. I'm looking at my album of finished projects for the year and there was only the Parisian Patisserie Box offered by the EGA.
Not to say that this is a bad thing. A lot happened in the last year.
- I started classes with Margaret Lee, starting two bead embroidery projects on top of my Japanese embroidery phases
- Planned my first trip in over 5 years and took language courses to get ready
- Finally got the chance to meet embroidery friends in person. I'm talking Canadian, British and Korean stitchers
- Managed to see multiple textile and embroidery exhibitions in person. Some that still makes me want to cry it was so beautiful
All in all 2023 was a busy year, but still a good year. For the last week,
I've been "attending" my annual solo Christmas retreat. I'm taking it slow to
get back into the groove of stitching. So I'll leave you this year with this
tassel that I'm so proud of. I was on cloud nine when it was finished, it's so
pretty. Happy New Year!
