At this time of year I like to look back and see what I may have accomplished during the year. I expected to find very little since we moved and had to downsize once again. But I was surprised that there were many new items added to my finished up list. Mostly new garments, since I got a great new serger and that made sewing clothes a real treat. And lots of finished knitting for my list of Jacket orders. But there were also some quilts and paintings and a new view of quilt making with all over quilting and making tops and backings with a goal of using up my fabric. I am enjoying quilting more now than ever!
I had success with dieting and lost about 38 pounds, but can't swear to that since the holidays invited nibbling and eventually gorging. January 2 will get me back to the smarter way of eating.
Resolutions are fun to make and try to keep and 2016 was so great that I intend to make 2017 a repeat. More knitting, quilting and gardening. And I intend to see my family and friends more often and make new ones too. Happy New Year to you all.
Wow! That is quite a list. And you created and conducted an online class -- great fun for many of us. Thank you, Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a photo record of finishes.... You had a great year.
ReplyDelete63 finished pieces of work. a finished item a week and some more as well. Just love reading and looking at your work. from Northern Ireland where we have had amazingly warm for us weather.
