Happy New Year - 2017 in stitches!




Happy New Year Stunners!!!

It's that time of the year. To review your successes and failures. Unfortunately I didn't have an awesome year in stitches with only 10 page finishes and no full finishes. But since joining the Ultimate Cross Stitch group on Facebook I'm improving as it really gets you stitching. 


I love the beginning of the year as it's a reset and time to set some new goals. 

This year I've decided to set a goal that is a little different to what I normally do. Instead of complete specific wips I will aim to stitch 100,000 - 200,000 stitches and to stick to my schedule/rotation that I have devised. It would work much better for me to go by stitch count as I jump around so much with my wips...hence the nil finishes...*blush*


So without further ado here is my year in pictures. 

First up are my wips.

Apologies for this photo. I'm at work writing this post and this is the last pic I had on my phone. And yes I was watching The Walking Dead at the time LOL! 

1 and a partial page completed.


That's it from me stunners! I hope you all had a magical Christmas and that the New Year brings even more magic, sparkles, light, love, dreams fulfilled and wine!

I apologise for my absence from blogland, it's such a crazy time of the year. But I endeavour to be a better blogger and blog follower this year. Yep another goal!! 

Take care stunners! And keep doing the things that make you happy!
