December was another fairly quiet month, but the festive break has been a welcome rest surrounded by loved ones. Its also given me the chance to work on a few big projects.
- Jumper – No change
- Chinese landscape cross stitch – No change
- Large mixed media embroidery – I finished a large embroidery motif
- Clamshell draft excluder – No change
- A beaded necklace – No change
- Mandolin quilt – the 5th mandolin has been started. I’e also done 6 joining pieces
- A beaded Christmas wreath – I’ve done some more
- A knitted pair of handwarmers – No change
- Felt Hare christmas ornament – I’ve cut out the shapes
- Felt Reindeer christmas ornament – This was a kit I was gifted last christmas and I’ve cut out the shapes
I’ve not been to pottery this month, as its been too cold to leave the house. Although I picked up my christmas ornaments when I visited for the christmas market.
For 2023, I have some big things coming up so my only goal is to enjoy making things. I just want to make sure I keep doing the things I enjoy in a way that doesn’t make me feel guilty if I end up busy or needing to rest. So thats what I’m going to keep reminding myself this year, am I enjoying doing this, if yes then carry one and if no, time to stop or swap.
