I’m right there with you. Although it looks like you hand wrote everything??
I type mine out and hand write the addresses. I stamp the return address. Sometimes I stamp fun things on the envelopes and sometimes it’s just stickers. The very close family gets actual nice cards with the letter in it. Others just get the letter.
@AIMR Have you thought about crocheting a tree skirt?

Trying to get at least 5 hats done for the Women’s shelter December drive. I hope to make a pouch that matches each hat as well so that each person has a little something for Christmas.
Oh man I love that hat. If it were a purple or lilac color instead of pink it would be perfect for my friend. I personally love the pink.

Thank you!
I wish I had more purples in my stash! I am using my stash to make hats to give away. I am not a pink person at all and definitely can’t wear that green against my face.
I hit 100 today! Well, 101 for accuracy’s sake. WOOHOO! I have plans for a couple-few more projects - hopefully before xmas - and maybe even something(s) between xmas and the new year. EEP!

My eighth hat for the Women’s shelter! I have one more on needles that I hope to get done this week. I need to take them to the delivery site next Tuesday! I still need to make matching pouches so they can filled with toiletries. I think I can get them done over the next few days!
The hardest part will be picking fabrics to go with the hats!
I have been little slow in this second half of the year, with quite a few big projects, so no quick wins to add to my tally. I made this wreath for the green challenge inbetween crocheting multiple projects. Ok! When I was sick of crochet!
I finished 5 & 6 on my list right before Christmas. We had a family craft day and I painted a candy cane and an ornament. We got the shaped Canvases as Michael’s. I used regular acrylic paints, and clear glue for the glitter on the cane.
Hoo boy! I hit 111 projects this year! I was hoping to finish jussssst onnnnnne more, but dry times and “real life sh!t” means that this one is going to be 2023’s first rather than 2022’s last. It’s xmas themed, too. HA!
I’m hoping January will be a month of treat myself crafts and finishing up some WIPs. Feb will likely be some more commissiony and gifty kind of things.
All the rest of my projects for the year have been food related but boy what an avalanche of cooking over the past few days, wow! Looking forward to next year, happy 2023 everybody!

Some of those food projects are epic! Those sauces…yummy!
Wow you guys, this is quite an epic thread to look back through. And @TheMistressT holy moly, 111 (fabulous) projects!! Amazing!
I think I got a bit derailed by moving countries in 2022, but one thing I love about this thread is that it doesn’t really matter - anything that inspires us to get creative, even just making a few small things, is worth celebrating!
