Looking Back at 2016

Looking back over this year I managed to finish 8 projects (2 more than last year!).


Many of them were small projects or WIPs from the year before, but two of them were quite big so I'm happy. I also did a lot of kumihimo projects. Mainly bracelets since I don't really like necklaces.


One amigurumi this year. I'm not making as many as I used to. This one I made for my sister.


So here's a final count: I have 6 finishes this year and 7 WIPs left of which 3 are from the year before. Again I'm not including the Creative Festival projects as WIPs.

This year I learned that:

I still love whitework and Seminar is amazing.


Bead! I love beads. I've bought so many is the last few months, I just hope I get the chance to use them all.

I managed to work on all my WIPs, including Tracery Dragon which last year, didn't see any action at all.

I've kept up the tradition of stitching on Bramble and the Rose on the last week of the year. We've been watching all the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies (extended edition) all week so I had lots of time :) I'll post pictures after the new year.
