Lately I have been contemplating what about last year made it so difficult for me? What were my victories? Well needless to say I had hundreds of answers to both questions but what stood out for me in all circumstances was the fact that good or bad, I grew. Spiritually, mentally and artistically I took steps forward more than I slid back and that is occasion to celebrate and give thanks to God without Whom I would have been a wreck in 2013.
So now here we are in 2014, a year I have decided will be filled with joy and accomplishment. I decided to start small with a few old projects that had been pushed aside in all the chaos. So today I present a sweater that saw it's start way back in 2012, was picked up here and there throughout 2013, and finally had the finishing touches done in 2014!
I even fashioned a sweet fabric brooch to set it off (beaming with pride here)!
I hope this year has started out with all the happiness possible for everyone! You are always in my thoughts!

Beautiful sweater and that is great you took more steps forward than back, that means progress is occurring. Using my word for the year, simplify, I am clearing out huge amounts of old papers. I don't really need extra copies of articles I wrote in 2005!
ReplyDeletei'm glad you started 2014 with a new sweater and an open mind!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is really lovely! And I know that sense of accomplishment you feel at having gotten it done, and the energy it gives you to move forward!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the very best my friend, as we both leave 2013 behind and have hopes for a better year in 2014!
Job well done! Good for you. I have to say something happened in April of 2013 that really threw me for a loop. Took me quite some time to get back on track and I still sometimes find it hard to be consistent. Just not enough hours in the day I tell ya! Best wishes, Tammy
