It appears to be a time of finishes.
The year is about to finish.
Our homeschool is finished; my eldest is going to TAFE (Tertiary and Further Education) and my youngest is returning to the school system.
My husband finished at his employment.
My time as a home ed facilitator and full time stay-at-home mum is almost finished as I'll now have to look for part time work.
Now that we've packed up the school books, I've had a bit more time for craft. In the last 24 hours, I've managed 3 crafty finishes (and a mend but that doesn't count!)
The "Mixed Flowers" Applique panel did become a cushion. I had thought of going the whole way with a quilt but my aim is to get through as many UFOs as quickly as possible.
Another little set of crocheted cotton face swabs in their own delicates wash bag- a pre-order for a friend.
And finally, the socks. I'm wearing them now. :)
So. What comes after so many finishes? Beginnings, I guess. The next year will bring a lot of change; possibly some discomfort as we all adjust but also new opportunities, new experiences and new projects.
I'm ready.
(I think.)
The cushion has turned out beautifully! You obviously don't have cats and dogs to claw and chew on it...Any applique projects that I do are made into wall hangings where animals can't get to them!
ReplyDeleteLove those socks! I am wearing bedsocks as I type; middle of summer and it is still cold enough at night to wear them :-(
Happy New year!
