One last finish for the year! You may remember how I got thisclose to finishing this one in July before I ran out of Forest Glade. And apparently out of energy because I didn't pick it back up until the holidays were over. Since we celebrate Boxing Day, and my aunt's birthday is on the 27th, that wasn't until the 28th.You can see here, I worked around my mishap by using a different color for Merry Christmas. I like the way it turned out. I also needed to find another color for the seven stitches in that last "E." I used a couple of different colors, and even in the sunlight, I don't think you can tell.
Twenty fifteen
Not my best year for stitching. All told, I had only twelve finishes, and seven of those were smalls. I did great when it came to finish-finishing--but only because I made that my focus in March. I want to stitch more often, and I want to complete more pieces. If you could tell me how to fit 28 hours of life into a 24 hour day, I'd be indebted.
Thanks for following along with my stitching (and gardening and farm share) in 2015!

Lovely finishes!
I hear you on needing more hours in the day.
I love your solution for "Merry Little Christmas". Your finishes look great. I will be here cheering you on to getting those WIPs from the unfinished side to the finished side. You can do it!
The Merry Christmas is a great work round, it looks like it was designed that way.
You've got some very nice finishes too, even if some are on the smaller side!
Well, first you need a time machine. And I hear they're pricey and only available on the black market. But if anyone official asks, you didn't hear that from me. :)
Love all the finishes. I think we all need more time, but the important part is that you manage to make time for your stitching. I think you did, so that's good! Happy new Year!
It isn;t about how many finishes you had, but rather how much you enjoyed the creative process and stitching! Happy New Year!
The finishes are lovely and you obviously enjoyed stitching them - that's what counts. Well done all round!
