The Craft Year in Review


It seems 2021 was the year of the sweater. I can't believe I finished all these. The two at the bottom are toddler sized sweaters but still......for me this is impressive.....



......especially when you think I also finished all these things. I guess we can give Covid the credit. I rarely finish anything but last year I had lots of sit and knit time it seems. 




I only completely finished two small quilts. I should have finished more. I've three close to finishing if I would just put my mind to it.




I never seem to finish any stitching projects but I did get to frame Baby Grand's birth record. 




I had big hopes for Rainbow Kitty in 2021. I've been working on it as you can see but it looks like I will have to look forward to completing it in 2022. 




I crocheted a bit. I'm honestly surprised I'm still sticking with it. I add one or two blocks to the pile every once in a while.



In the downstairs craft room I splashed around some watercolor, inked my way through Inktober and made an awful lot of cards. 



I made a lot of soap once. ONCE. I think it was a few days in May. My three year kitchen remodeling project has taken a toll. I really, really miss making soap. 



But what I miss the most is my little loom. I didn't get it out in 2020 or in 2021. It will be back out in 2022. That I promise. We've got a floor to put down and a living room to move furniture back into and then it will take its place in the corner once again. I have hope.

 Happy Almost New Year everybody!

  1. This was so impressive! I've read you every single day and yet I can't believe how many things you have made. Looking at the pictures, I remember them all. I really need to start keeping better records of what I make.
    You inspire me my friend. This, on top of all of the work on the kitchen? You are amazing.
    Blessings,
