2015 projects and Goals 2016

Hello, hope you had a great long weekend and enjoying the holiday season waiting for 2016:)

Last week I had been busy going for ultrasound and IFT therapies daily for my upper back pain. It is now better as long as I do mild work, especially, in kitchen. It seems the kitchen platform in the new flat is a bit high compared to what I had in my old place . We are trying to find a solution else we will have to dismantle and construct a new one which is a major task :(  I will also be fine if my family allows me to retire from the kitchen tasks ;)

These are the projects I worked on in 2015 . Click on the link of project titles to see more details and images .

Cross stitch projects:

I spent first half of the year on a big project 'Kitty Litter' by Dimensions, but lost my mojo very soon. 

Crochet projects:



1. Crochet collar published in Anchor Needle n Thread magazine, India


I am going to continue with the same goals for this year again as shared in 2015.
