2014 Crafty Year in Review

It's funny, looking back on 2014, I feel as if I didn't have much time do very many crafty things. We had a very busy summer being away twice, doing Cub Scout things, and then I joined our school levy campaign which took a good three month's time. But, going through the pictures---I did manage to get a lot done! Yay, me! Lol

The following pictures are in their best chronological order possible. :-)

I made this quilt for one of Evander's classmates whose father passed away. It has the hand tracings of each student in their class:

Nick and I reupholstered our couch. He did the hard work, I did the fabric/sewing work:

I made this super cute cross-stitch heart mini quilt:

These awesome Minecraft valentines:

And embroidered a deerie picture on a dress for Marin while the Winter Olympics were on TV:

I made this mini quilt for Play Crafts Color of the Year Challenge. Radiant Orchid was Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year and of course, I thought of Twilight Sparkle. ;-)

I made four quilt blocks for the FAVA Artist As Quiltmaker quilt bombing:

And painted Pokemon on the Easter eggs this year:

This one's not a real big deal, but I had to get my ponies in somewhere. A sign I made to cheer on the Glass City Marathon runners:

I did this little mug rug as part of my FB Modern Quilting group. It was inspired by Evander's Wolf Scout graduation ceremony:

I made several more aprons this year...12 in 2014 to be exact! I think I'm up to a grand total of 24 aprons since I started making them?

I made this quilt for Evander's teacher:

And this crazy Pikachu for Evander's dress up book report day. Not my best work, but eh well. 

I started making blocks for a Supernova friendship quilt-along:

Made another market day skirt:

And a Minecraft diamond wall hanging for the boys' bedroom:

I painted this table for a friend's family:

And participated in "Printmaking Unleashed" during the month of July. Super fun!!!

I made this T-shirt memory quilt:

And repainted our piano!

Oh, here's another apron picture. :-P

I finally finished the quilt for Evander's bed:

And I quilted and finished this Shoo Fly quilt for a sick friend:

Made a couple Halloween costumes:

And quilted this mini as part of the grieving process once our school levy failed:

I made an advent calendar for our family. I have been wanting to make this one for five years after I made a first one for a friend as a wedding shower gift. The first one that I made was my first real quilting project!

I made these super cute Cub Scout ornaments for my den for Christmas:

And painted these fab Pokemon ornaments for us:

I love looking back on the crafty year!

The best creative thing I did this year was definitely the Printmaking Unleashed in July. It was a daily challenge and really made you stretch your creativity!
