My second (and final) look back through the archives focuses on home photos... the little things I did throughout the year to make my home prettier and my life happier. I wish there were more finished craft and crochet projects here... I'm great at starting things but not always so good at finishing them. I did try to fix that in 2013 by starting a series called '12 Unfinished Projects' and I was going to finish one a month, unfortunately that went by the wayside! Though I am still working on my crochet hexagon blanket and the finish line is almost in sight, somewhere in the misty distance. (And there will be a celebratory post when that happens!)
So here is my small record of how my home and surroundings were in 2013:

Ruth, you're very talented, I surprised how many crochet and embroider you did during the year! I love is the pillow case with roses and a button box, it's I need too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nadezda. I probably did more crochet than embroidery this year, although I do love stitching! And I must confess, I didn't actually stitch the rose pillow case - I found the embroidered panel in a second hand shop! But I did sew it into a pillow :)
DeleteHi Ruth, lovely to see all your creative projects around the home and how you decorate with flowers. I used to crochet many years ago but it must be at least 20 years since last time I made anything. These days I do mostly embroidery if anything at all – I have an embroidery project that has been waiting far too long for me to get started, I think that will be my project for 2014!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your embroidery, as I've mentioned I'm great at starting projects like embroidery but not so good at finishing them! I hope you'll do better than I did :)
DeleteLove it all but most especially your button collection :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cath, yes I do love hoarding buttons!
DeleteAll very beautiful, clever you :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bridget :)
