Taking Inventory for 2012

At the beginning of 2012 I got this great idea to pick up a journal and each project I do throughout the year, I would photograph and glue into my journal, write a little note about it and at the end of year, see just exactly what can be accomplished.

So that’s what I did and when I took stock today of all the projects I did, it kind of made my head swirl a little. I wasn’t sure what a years worth of creativity would look like, but here it is. Some of these projects can be seen on my other blog if you follow me and can’t remember seeing them all. I’m not going to post pictures of everything, just give you a rundown.

I filled 55 pages of the journal for starters and in those pages are:

Dolls

Cloth 18
Clay 7
Ornaments 47
Bugs 2

The following on are my other blog Northbrook Stitches

Needlework

Finished a UFO Angel for the first project of the year
Created 2 free cross stitch charts based on two of my dolls
6 Needlework Buttons
TAST – which I didn’t finish. Started off strong, but had to let it go when I got to busy

Sewing Projects

Gift package for a friend which contained: tote bag, wallet, pin doll, pin cushion, Kleenex holder, CC holder
Two sets of curtains
Altered a shirt for hubby
Small purse
Polar Fleece Vest and Jacket
Set of 4 place mats

Knitting

Two scarves
1 pair of fingerless gloves
4 shawls

Paper

Set of 5 bookmarks from an Alice in Wonderland challenge

Crochet

A really bright almost fluorescent green vest

And that is all…..I have my new journal in hand ready for 2013 and we’ll see how that turns out. So this journal is ready to be put to sleep now, it’s been busy and needs the rest.

Wishing all my blog readers a very happy, healthy, creative and peaceful 2013. Surround yourselves with only positive things and the year will be amazing….. Remember to get some good sleep to make you feel rejuvenated to create.
