erm... nope!



So that's a measly, pathetic 2 WIPs from a total of 44 (projects left) done -  5%. And 25 out of the total of 67 is 3%.  Overall I've done 25 from a total of 67 - 37%.   I have done really, really badly this month, but to be honest, it's only to be expected as I've had such a shitty month.

So which projects have I made progress on but not finished?

I really love that hardanger!!! I see you had silk painting on your list. I still have a Chinese brush painting kit I've never opened. I am just so bad at painting that I think my attempts will be pathetic.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It's been a busy month, you were working away, and other stress to deal with. YOu've made progress, and been able to cross things off the list. You've accomplished a lot this year, it's amazing
