End of the Year Finishes and a Year of ORT

   So we have nearly come to the end of 2013!  This has been such a wonderful and difficult year for me personally.  There were many months I was unable to cross stitch as I was to busy.  I finished a couple of projects as Christmas gifts.  Here they are....

I finished the Moonlight with Palm Trees Bookmark by Artecy (if you are interested in this pattern you can purchase it CLICK HERE FOR INFO

The top photo is the back.  After much help from a forum on Facebook, I decided to use self-adhesive felt to cover the back and protect it as the person uses it!  The bottom photo is the front of the bookmark.  I am really satisfied with how it came out!

I also finished the Santa Clause Mill Hill kit!  I don't remember where I purchased this kit, as I bought it almost 8 years ago.  However, the title of the kit is MHPS21 Glacier Santa.  You'll notice in the photo below I have included the front of the package to help you know which kit this is.  I did not take a photo of the back of this one. Sorry!

As a way of reflecting on the amount of work I did this year, this is my ORT jar....

I have already decided which projects I will try to accomplish in 2014!  I am looking forward to what the next year might hold!!
