It has been an amazng year.  I never stitched

And completed 65 pieces in one year.

I added 27 ornaments to my tree.

I gave away 12 cross stitch pieces

Only 2 were professionally framed.

63 pieces finished by me.

I did my first chatelaine

My first large mill hill kit

My first county fair

My first stitching retreat

Started my first heaven and earth design

Started my first Mirabilia

My first time stitching in a hoop,

In a frame, in a spring hoop and a qsnap

I stitch a lot in hand still.

I had some great trips and memories this year.

2018 will be amazing.

To all who viewed my blog I want

To wish you a merry Christmas and

A blessed new year.  Enjoy time with

Family and friends.  Reflect on

The good and positive things.  I

Appreciate each and every one of you.
