Total: 12

      This year my fascination with large and difficult designs continued as I started six more Teresa Wentzler designs, none of which I finished by December. Instead, I managed to finish a slew of smaller freebie designs which I alternated with the TWs. The only non-freebies I finished were the Victoria Sampler BCS #5-4, Vedalia Ladybug, and the little bits.
      My child support battle escalated in the latter half of this year, and the number of finishes became fewer as I opted to stitch more on the larger pieces, primarily Mirabilia's A Midsummer Night's Fairy, which helped settle my nerves.
      Highlight of the year: attending my first CATS (in Riverside).
