#needleworkmonday :: My 2019

My crafting year 2019

My favourites, it was hard to choose but I am pretty proud of these babies.


🌈🎨 Saving my stained canvas shoes 👟

I saved my favourite canvas shoes from brown stains by embroidering purple flowers on it and I am pretty proud of them whenever I wear them:



My entry in commemmorating #NeedleWorkMonday's 2 Year Anniversary!

My sole crosstitch project this year and it was to commemorate #NeedleWorkMonday's 2 Year Anniversary. I proudly carry this tote bag around with me:

Chubby owl stuffed toy

This was my last project in 2019 and it was an entry to a toy making contest. My very first sewed soft toy! I have always wanted to try to sew a soft toy and I finally did it in 2019:

I have to say that I am pretty happy with all that I achieved in 2019, eventhough some were not that successful. I learnt a lot along the way. Here is a quick recap:

I sewed some pouch and tote:


I learnt some knitting and I think my knitting in 2019 was much neater and a little quicker than I have ever knitted before:


I did a number of mending work because it was either mend or never use again. I chose to mend so that they can be used again. And a little googlyeyes in the mix :) :


I sewed some simple garments, nothing like @neumannsalva's projects but I am pretty happy with them:


I crocheted some amigurumis, a bunny entry for Easter contest, donuts for April Fool's contest and a piggy for the year of the pig in 2019:


I love covers and in 2019, I am happy that I sewed 3 sets, all envelope covers and more to come this year because I couldn't get enough of them :D :


I love pouches and crocheted more pouches, added googlyeyes to one :). I tried my hands on tapestry crochet and I quite like it although my stitches are not neat enough yet when changing colours and rows:

This year, I hope to continue to improve on my needlework in general. I like trying different things when my mood permits it and I have no specific plans this year because I am usually an ad-hoc, spontaneous kinda person.

State of the Stash

My yarn and fabric stash, are pretty much the same and didn't decrease much because I bought new ones just as I used some wee bit of old ones :D. It is just so hard to resist! But this year, I need to reorganize my sewing stuffs. Too many things everywhere and I am losing track of what I have.

Non-fiber related things

I am happy that I have cut down on junk food in 2019 and I managed to do some baking. I wrote about this in another post recently.

2020 will be a continuous improvement and learning for me in all that I do, cherishing every second, every minute, every hour and everyday that I have with my family.
I hope to try more new things this year and share them here in this wonderful community on this STEEM platform.
