This year I managed ten finishes from the list, worked on another six projects and only had two unstarted.
Here's the ten finishes:
I started 2018 with 27 WIPs and completed 12 of them. Over the course of the year I started 20 new projects and completed 15 of them. So that leaves me with a final total of 27 finishes and 20 WIPs going into 2019
Here are the ten Just Nan smalls shown on Friday:
And the other seven finishes, including a Just Nan small I left off that top photo!
I'm still working on my 2019 list and will be showing that on the first WIPocalypse update due on the 6th January, 2019.
side-note - this is my 90th WIPocalypse post! We seem to be doing a good job at holding off the end of the world.
Finally, a number of people have been asking about the Smalls SAL run by Stitching Lotus. Heather has been in touch with me to say she has someone interested in running the SAL in 2019 as she currently does not have the time to do so. No, the someone is NOT me, I have enough SALs already LOL. An announcement will be made shortly as to what is happening. So, keep stitching those Smalls!
you certainly accomplished so many projects in 2018! Well done.
ReplyDeleteJo: You did have a very productive year.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice someone wants to do so.
happy New Year

Wonderful selection of projects, Jo! I love your Happy Halloween Night, the Autumn Tree, the Moon Fairy, the Satsuma Libra, Dracula, but they are all amazing. Good luck with your 2019 list. I feel it might be time to stop mirroring the year, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteYou had an excellent finishing year. They all look great! I hope you have a wonderful 2019. I will enjoy watching your progress
ReplyDeleteWonderful stitching year. I really like reading your recaps as they give me some incentive to get myself back into gear.
ReplyDeleteLooooool, when you mentioned Heather finding someone else, I immediately thought this was going to be the announcement you taking over. You could make 2019 the year of posting a new SAL Every! Day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your lovely finishes and you've had plenty of progress on all the rest. We'll just ignore the poor unstarted pieces, laaanguishing away in your stash.
:D
You have had a very successful year!! You did so many wonderful designs!
ReplyDeleteWell done on WIPocalypse! To decrease your WIPs during the year is a great achievement, and you've done so with some absolutely beautiful finishes. I'll look forward to to seeing your '19 in 19' list and watching your journey through the year. If you're just as successful you'll not have much left for '20 in 20'! :)
ReplyDeleteSuccess!! AND beauty! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job with all your beautiful finishes!! Can't wait to see what you work on in 2019. Sorry to hear Heather is stepping down but glad to hear it is continuing. I do like Rosey's idea of you hosting a SAL everyday though haha. You're awesome enough to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot you got done...... so many lovely things.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your '19 list
Wishing you a fabulous 2019
2018 was a really good stitching year for you, Jo. I'm looking forward to seeing your 19 in 19, too.
ReplyDeleteWow... you did an amazing job. I look forward to trying to figure this all out and starting in 2019 to be part of this group.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive list of finishes! Looking forward to seeing what your 19 in 19 will be
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all you accomplished in 2018. I know that 2019 will be another good one for you.
ReplyDeleteA very productive year Jo. I look forward to seeing what you stitch this year x
ReplyDeleteYou did great this year! Congratulations on reducing your WIP list to just 20. Give it a few years, and you'll be able to fit all your current WIPs in the 'x in x' list, with new starts to spare!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on so many wonderful finishes, they all look fantastic!
