Looking back at 2014

 Well, since it's officially 2015 and I didn't manage to finish my tree skirt, I'll just have to settle for it to be my first finish of 2015.  If you scroll down you'll see how I ended the year.

I like doing a year in review.  I enjoy seeing the progress I made especially when sometimes it feels like little progress is being made.  So here is my 2014.

My original goals were pretty lofty.  From 1/1/14:  I plan to make progress on all of the above plus samplers such as Ann Bower, M. Woods and others.  I would like to start a couple of Chatelaines such as the Polar Mandala, The Hawaiian Mandala and the Art Nouveau Sampler.  I also plan to have a new years start later today and sometime this year start and make some good progress on Her Private Garden from HAED.

As you can tell, only a couple of those goals were met.  I started and finished Art Nouveau Sampler and had a new years start.  Maybe 2015 will be better.

I would LOVE to see more progress on Lust this year. She is just so beautiful.

Happy New Year!
