I hope you’ve had a really good Christmas, are feeling well and relaxed, or buzzy and productive. If none of these things, then I send you Feel Better Soon vibes and very best wishes for the New Year.
I always used to do a round-up gallery at the end of each year of blogging. But realised recently that the last one was in 2018. Skimming through my blog posts, I’ve realised why I paused.
In 2019 the only thing I finished was the cross-stitch 45 hoop! I started so many things that year, but could never complete them as my hand was too painful, following a hand injury in April 2018. Each thing was begun with hope. Perhaps this would be the magic project…? But there has been no magic, it’s been time and an acceptance that I cannot sit and crochet, knit or sew for hours on end anymore. But I’m so happy today’s gallery above shows a good collection of all I’ve made in the last 3 years. Things are definitely on the up. This is now a slow crafting blog.
You can see all my other roundups from 2012 onwards, if you click on the links at the bottom of that 2018 gallery post. Maybe start with the 2012 link and then come back here? Wink.

And a very happy year filled with lovely moments – you possess a real gift of capturing them in your photos, and thank you for sharing them with us! ❤️
Thank you so much. And a Happy New Year to you! I hope you are all feeling much better now
Yes, thank you! We are all back to normal. I just cough a little more than pre-covid and sweat every night (we have a simile “like a cow-shed door” 😄)
Let’s hope this year will be better covid-wise.
That’s a cracking saying! I like it a lot.
Happy 10 Year Blogging Anniversary! Isn’t it amazing how long blogging has been around? I’m very glad, as it allows talented folks like you to share easily and without hassle. I’m also very glad to see that the crafting is on the up and up. Happy New Year!
Thank you! It is amazing how fast time has flown and yes, where would we be without the connections, information and inspiration blogging has brought us?
Thank you so much for your lovely compliment, I’m sorry that my reply slipped through the net as you made my day when I read this comment.
Happy New Year to you too. I hope all is well with you and yours.
