I didn’t do a Tiny Needle Year in review because their were really only two projects this year. The first was Relic’s Wildflowers, which I started in January.

and the second is, of course, my witchy sampler, which I’m still working on and will be well into 2026.

For the last weekend in 2025, I had the honour of two stitching helpers (Burton is that black blob in the middle of the photo – it’s a little hard to make out features in all that floof).

With their help, I made excellent progress. Second witch’s sleeve was complete, along with her raven, and all the little woody/tree bits at the side.

And, we even had time to add the orange bits to this section (ravens’ eyes, buttons, hat bands, and candle flames) so you know what that means….

Next time I sit down to stitch, I’ll be moving the hoop up! Now that’s some real excitement for New Year!
