Happy New Year.

 Once again no time to post and haven't really crafted quite as much as I would have liked in 2020.

                     This New Year I hope to start back crafting a little more if life allows me to.

                      I hope this finds everyone doing well despite all the craziness going on

               I am hoping to also post a bit more then I have in the past. Life can throw some curveballs sometimes and it makes you wonder how you can handle it all. I will leave these words of inspiration for you 

                                            " You are stronger than you think"

If you need to talk or want a sounding board. I can be that for you any time, just drop me an email.                                                                      Respond in a comment 

I have my 1st finish of the New Year and it is a diamond painting. I am trying to not stress myself out so much with so many projects at once and have decided I'll work on only 2 a month now and see how it goes. I haven't done much cross stitch and hoping to get back to that with a 1st NEW purchased of the year from Just Another Button Company. Here is a link to the Buttons

The button pack comes with the chart. It is so cute!

As for the 1st finish of the new year here it is:

I found this on Amazon Here

Only problem I had was I ran out of 1 color of the drills but found them on Etsy. I can recommend this seller , the shop can be found  on Etsy 3DOrigamiArtStudio

The prices and shipping are very reasonable.

My next project that I have been working on is one of many swedish weaving projects that I started last year. This one is called Mountain Pines. I am a little past the half way mark

From the book - Learn to Make Monk's Cloth Afghans

Since I finished the diamond painting I will work on this one until complete and then pick another one. 

I believe that I will be able to manage better with only 2 projects a month.

That's all for now, 

Until Next Time.....

Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx
