End of The Year

12/31/2014

    The end of another year is fast approaching.  This last year passed way too fast for me.

    WRITING:  I tried to write on a new story each month. Moving from one story to another keeps me from becoming bored too quickly.  I finished two of the eight books I worked on this year.  You can find snippets from most of them here on my blog.

    HAND WORK:  I worked on and finished several crocheted items.  I worked on many sewing projects as well.  I hardly did any knitting, having other things going, but just this month I knit a scarf and am working on a pair of sock which will take a while.  I did some wood burning this year as well, which was new and fun.

    I regret to say that I did not take before pictures of this jumper and blouse.  I was going to and then.....I was taking it apart before I realized I had not gotten pictures.  But here is what it looks like re-made.

    <<<<I ripped it all apart, then used the jumper for the skirt and the blouse for the top.  I did some fittings and took tucks and such for the bodice. 
    >>>>>I added side panels to the skirt to make it wider.  The panels are made of a skinnier piece on top and I gathered a wider piece to it at the end.

    ^^^^^I wanted to add a little something more, so I added the flowers to the neckline.  I made them pointed to coordinate better with the flowers in the pattern of the fabric.^^^^^

50,000 Words!!!!

    I DID IT!!!!  Saturday (November 29th) I totaled up my word count from the day before and had 50,770 words!  I wrote more Saturday and Sunday and have 53,000 now.  I feel good about how much I was able to do, what with all the other things that came up.  I did not finish the book, so will probably work on doing that till it is done.  Another week or two should do it I think. 

    I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!  Mine was good. =)  My sister Bobbie and her husband were down.  Bobbie took this fun picture and I thought I would share it with all of you.

    I am so late in getting this up.  One thing after another happened but now I have gotten around to it. =)
