December Pie and Stitch from Stash

 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

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
