Back from the dead and Pic Heavy

Sometimes it's really surprising how time goes by so fast.

I was shocked to realize that I have been gone for over a year and don't really have an excuse for it.  Life just happened, as it does sometimes.  Not all of it good things and some of it really good things.

I sat down today to work out what I have stitched since my last update and was totally shocked to see that I only had one other finish in 2015!  I don't understand how that can be, as I can't recall stopping stitching.  Need to look into that further, but for now lets leave it as one more finish.

But first let me go make a cup of tea, as I think this will be a long post, and I may need the refreshment...

Back and lets see...

I got two FO's framed in 2015.

Ladybird Fairy was a gift to my Nanna and I didn't realize that I took such a bad photo of the framed stitching.  Will have to take a better photo next time I'm visiting her.

Then I got Jewel of the Water framed at the same time.

My one and only other finish for 2015 (which sadly only makes 3 FO"S for the entire year) was:

Autumn Fairy by Joan Elliott.

Started:  23 December 2014 and finished 27 December 2015

2016 was better, as far as finishes are concerned, and will hopefully continue to be just as good through 2017.
