Handmade Year 2014
As, I think it is safe to say, usual, I am here with my round-up of my crafty year.
It has been in many ways, a completely awful year, filled with one blighted thing after another which I am quite frankly glad to see the back of. But, that would be if you only looked at one side of things. The other events that have gone on in these strange online world have made it one of the most surprising and pleasing years on record. A peculiar up and down kind of year for me I suppose and I'll take a quieter one next, if no-one minds.
But let us get on. I know that not everyone approves of these posts looking back over the months but then again, many others do enjoy them and as I am one of those, I am sticking with it.
I like, and this is where the self-indulgent part can be quite fairly accused, to look back and see that I've actually accomplished something in the last 12 months. Sometimes it can feel that you've been trudging along getting no-where so it's nice to pull a few pics together to confirm that yes, thank goodness, some progress was made. I have to confess too, that's it's nice to look over the previous years posts and reminisce about projects of the past. I like to think of it as a way of keeping a little catalogue of my crafty endeavors.
Apart from those benefits to me, I hope that it might be of some interest and possibly even use to you too. 'Interest' to those of you who quite like these posts too and are happy to re-live previous makes with me. 'Of Use' because you might be new around these parts and be glad to see a few projects that were featured here before we met.
If you've read this far, I'll assume you're in one of the above two categories and so I hope you'll enjoy what follows. And, if it so happens that you do wish to read a little more of what you see below, you can click on a picture to be taken to the relevant posts for that month.

Thank you so much for looking over 2014 with me and for coming to visit me throughout the past year. You never fail to amaze me with your kindness and wonderful generous support and I appreciate every comment, every pattern purchase and all the interest you show in what I get up to so much.
Good luck for a wonderful and crafty 2015!

Sandra they are all so beautiful <3 Wishing you a very happy and productive year in 2015! xxx
ReplyDeleteOMG! You did so much this year. Here's me making a list for what I want to do in 2015, and top of the list is finishing the granny square blanket. A few grannys a day. Must be feasable, right?
ReplyDeleteYou have been such a busy bee! It is lovely to go back through the year and relive some of the things that have been done. I thoroughly enjoy these types of posts, but they are quite something to put together! Have a wonderful and Happy New Year xx
ReplyDeleteas usual... I am absolutely in AWE of what you accomplish throughout the year Sandra! While I 'do' have some completed projects (like the scarves I crocheted for Christmas presents THIS year that were supposed to be done for Christmas LAST year!)
ReplyDelete*ehem*
I too will be glad to see the finish of 2014! Without trying to sound to melodramatic - this has probably been the worst year of my life! Too many things went south. But with so many endings came new beginnings - and for those I am VERY THANKFUL!
May 2015 bring us all Blessings!
Happy New Year Sandra, I love your round up, truly, you are one talented lady. It's your blog, so it's your rules, I love coming here and being inspired. I wish you joy in 2015!

Lovely to look back on what you have been up to this year! I hope that your New Year will be wonderful! Best wishes for all good things in 2015 to you and yours! xx
ReplyDeleteGoodness you have been busy. I shan't be sorry to see the end of 2014, and am hoping that 2015 is easier! But if not, crochet is always good!! Take care and have fun. x
ReplyDeleteWow, it all looks so pretty and impressive all together like that. You've had a very productive year I think. I'm wishing you and yours a very happy 2015. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful things Sandra :) Do you have an extra 6 hours a day or something ?!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours

Looks like it was a very fruitful and colourful year for you but I agree with your opening sentiments about being glad to see the back of the year! Mine is finishing up with a rotten cold which is keeping me housebound tonight. Happy New Year to you and yours, Sandra. May you continue with your beautiful work. x
ReplyDeleteI love your 12 month post...I'm afraid to go back over my year and discover I got little done! LOL! You made amazing progress and all those projects! Maybe I should take your 2014 and make it my 2015!?!? Happy New Year and thank you for all your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty looking 2014... And a happy new year!
ReplyDeleteOh wow that looks absolutely impressive, so much loveliness you've created! Wishing you a happy, creative, healthy and wonderful 2015!! :-) xxxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful these frames with handmade work. I love your blog and I love your crafty style. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh! How I wish I could say I made so many things each month! Your collages are gorgeous and have inspired me to be more creative this year - with yarn and colour and décor and....
ReplyDeleteYou have made so many beautiful things - where do you find the time. Time management is something I am going to have to work on this year. I am going to make sure that I have more time to craft. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you did a re-cap of your beautiful projects because it reminded me of some that I want to make this year. You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteSandra, your blog has been incredibly inspirational for me this past year - because of it I went on a 'become a real crocheter' mission and am now able to really crochet. 2014 was a trying year for me as well and crochet revision got me through the rougher patches!
ReplyDeleteI can not only crochet in the round now thanks to you, but am no longer afraid to try patterns in either US (where I first took up playing at crochet) or UK terminology (where I've lived since 2010 and have finally learnt real crochet instead of playing at it using one stitch only - thanks to your mouthwatering blog).
I printed this gorgeous round-up and have it tucked up in my virtual studio reading room folder.
Happy New Year, and may 2015 be less awful and more Happy straight through to 2016 for all of us!
Sandra-- look at all of that beauty from 2015-- well done, you!! Thank you for all of the creative inspiration that you give her. Very thankful for you and your blog.
ReplyDeleteSuch a colourful year Sandra and some damn fine crochet. Happy New Year Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and colourful display of all your hard work. You put me to shame! I hope 2015 is all round good for you and yours and a productive one too! X
ReplyDeleteEverything is so attractive and inspiring! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year !! Cil ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiration. This has made me want to start creating, although I may not get too ambitious and maybe aim for one make a month, anything extra will be a bonus :) x x x
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! And what fun you've had! It's all so beautiful, and so very inspiring..thanks for sharing! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteWow- what a lot of beautiful projects! Looking forward to seeing what you make in 2015! I just wanted to say thank you for letting me know about the rose hama bead coaster pattern- I'm in the process of tracking down a few more colours, but I am looking forward to starting it- thanks very much!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you've made so many beautiful things!! I'm lucky if I manage 1 project a month I'm so slow, so by standards you've had a phenomenally productive year! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post, even if your year has been up and down, your crafting year has been amazing, so many beautiful creations. Wishing you a happy new year. xx
ReplyDeleteWow! It must be lovely to be able to tally all your fantastic makes and reach such a good number. And all that colour ... you work with your own personal rainbow!
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful! Congratulations! I wish you a happy and creative new year!
