Oh my goodness I just realised this was still sitting in draft!!
In January I managed to make some decent progress on Lahaina Breezes by Laura J Perin. I also finished my most challenging cartonnage project to date – a toolbox for my cartonnage tools!! I’m so in love with that box 🩵
2023 recap
Goals partially met for 2023:
Progress on 12 WIPs/UFOs
I only made progress on four projects, instead of 12.
Kathy Rees: Banded by Bargello (FINISH) – I made some decent progress at the start of the year before losing my mojo again, but ended the year on a high as it was the only project I wanted to work on when my mojo returned a bit. I’m so excited to show that this was 100% finished too, woohoo!
HAED: Mini Sunflowers – I really love every moment I spend stitching on this one, it’s a really good mix of confetti and larger sections of colour. It’s my first HAED stitched on 18ct Aida too, and I’m quite enjoying it.
Un chat dans l’aiguille: Août – I had to do a lot of frogging on this one, so not as much progress as I would have hoped
Rosewood Manor: Quaker Diamonds (I thought it was going to be a finish, but then realised I’d missed a couple of the over-one small letters, so it’s in the naughty corner until I can find a set of spare Qsnaps for that one section – it may end up being my first finish of 2024)
Progress on three canvaswork projects
I only made progress on one project, although it was a LOT of progress, as I actually finished it!

Goals not met at all for 2023:
- Progress on a crochet project
I didn’t make progress on an older WIP, but I did start a new project and made progress on that one (Uptown Poncho) … which I guess will be a WIP for 2024 now - Complete 12 Christmas ornaments (as part of the JCS ornament SAL on Facebook) – not started
- Sew an item of clothing – not started
- Finish and frame the Ronald McDonald charity stitching – not started
- Start a bed quilt – not started
- Complete at least three sewing projects (eg pouches, pincushions etc – WIPs or new starts) – not started
- Finish-finish at least 12 items in my finishing pile (eg Christmas ornaments etc) – not started
