December and year end

December 31, 2019

Happy almost New Year!!

The year has gone by so fast and work was insanely busy. My energies have been spent on holiday baking and decorating, when I wasn't working overtime at work.  As a result, I have been exhausted and finally feel like I'm human again.  Just in time for  the new year to start.

I only had two starts this month, but I did finish a few things I started earlier.

This will be a sweet 16 card for my niece.  I asked her what her favorite color was and she said white so I used a bunch of pastels.  First, I will give her a white card that I stamp "Happy Birthday" in white ink and use a white gel pen to sign.  Then I will give her the one I finish using the below.  Yes, I'm a prankster.

Thank I finished the below.  The first three were UFO's from 2016 and I had worked on earlier in the year. I had finished the stitching, but needed to add the beads and buttons.  The last one is also a UFO from 2016 and I "started" it  (and finished) it in December. 

 

 

And here's the four. There are two more to make, which I will finish in 2020, and then turn them into a banner.


I have finished 129 out of 153 starts. I don't think I'll do a " start a day" next year.  Instead, I want to focus on finishing UFO's on some large projects and I have a couple of large projects I want to start and finish.  But, I'm a pre-menopausal red-headed women  and am likely to change my mind...

Hope 2019 was good to you and 2020 is even better.
