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.^^^^^

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. =)
