It's Old Year's Night and time for a look back at the past 366 days of stitching.
First of all, here is the Pie for December:
For this year's 12 Days of Stitchmas I am stitching the Stoney Creek designs from 2019. Here are Days 1 to 6, all stitched on 32 count Lime Green evenweave:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6
In my WIPocalypse post I showed you my 15 finishes from my "20 in '20" list and now here are the rest of my finishes for the year:
The collage program I am currently using only allows 25 photos, so here are the two that didn't fit in:
Let's have a look at the Annual Pie Chart now:
The top four individual projects were:
The Discworld Mappe - 111 days
Alice in Wonderland SAL - 36 days
Chatelaine Gardens of London - 34 days
Hands on Design Scary Apothecary - 27 days
Hands on Design Scary Apothecary - 27 days
I also stitched on a number of Just Nan projects, totalling 54 days when I only stitched those projects. More often they were part of a daily stitch project.
I came into the year with 15 WIPs and started 43 projects over the course of the year of which 7 are still WIPs. I also completed 3 projects started prior to 2018. My current WIPs are:
| Prior 2017 | 8 |
| 201 | 2 |
| 2018 | 0 |
| 2019 | 1 |
| 2020 Total | 7 18 |
So the total went up but a few of those 7 will be complete very soon. It's just life got in the way this month! I do have some very large starts planned for next year too.
How did the spending go last month? My magazine subscription came out and I bought a charity chart.
| December | |
| Charity chart CS sub | £3.65 £8.72 |
| Total | £12.37 |
I also tallied up the spend for the whole year:
| Magazines | £49.88 |
| Charts | £166.86 |
| Fabric | £32.47 |
| Threads | £20.49 |
| Other | £11.05 |
| Total | £280.75 |
That figure is about the same as last year. Once again, I spent more on charts and less on fabric and threads. Magazines is down because I couldn't renew JCS. The money spent on charts was nearly all Christmas and Birthday money so that's OK too.
Finally,
Have a very Happy Old Year's Night
and a very Peaceful New Year's Day
