Looking back on 2025

What do you see looking back on 2025?  I was going to post about the felted Christmas ornaments I made. The ones I started in a previous post.  However, I seem to have accidentally deleted the photos of the completed ornaments!

I have been searching for over an hour and cannot find them.  The nice result is that all the searching has given me a nice walk through the year.

It has been a fun time of family, crafting, lots of eating and a bit of nature walks.  This is my memory lane, come join me.

There are so many more as can be seen in my previous posts. As 2025 is nearing a close, it is good for us to slow down and reflect back on the year. I try to do this monthly in my journal to keep track of where I have been and where I am headed.

And true, it has not all been happy crafting and perfect outings. There has been sickness, tears, disappointments and less than picture-perfect projects. Scattered in all of the above there has also been laughter, family time, and lots of food.

As you are looking back on 2025, I hope you find joyful and happy moments. Keep creating, keep hoping.

I am taking a break from posting and I might even find those ornament photos. Wishing you the best in the year ahead.
