Default Following up on "what are you doing that's new"... What I'm trying toget out of the UFO/WIP pile

Arctic Santa -- I'm crazy, decided to do the kit on navy aida AND add
mother-of-pearl to all the white
Seafood Boil -- purchased in New Orleans at The Quarter Stitch
(goodness only knows how long ago) -- all done except backstitching
Rocky Mountain Christmas (Marty Bell) -- doing on needlepoint canvas
in cross stitch, all done excepting backstitching (http://
www.pegasusor.com/detail.cfm?ID=100)
Under the Oaks (Barbara & Cheryl) -- nearly done with stitching, then
on to that backstitching (http://www.stitching.com/bar-cher/bcl27.jpg)
Purple Perfection (Silver Linings) -- backstitching again (http://www.
123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=00-2428)
Fractals Cross-stitch (off of DVD from amazon.com) -- its the 2nd from
left on bottom row, don't really expect to finish it in 2009! (http://
http://www.amazon.com/Fractals-Cross...1252720&sr=8-6)

And we won't even go into the knitting & crocheting WIPs and UFOs...
However, I did neaten up the craft closet in October and label
everything with what needed to be done to complete these little
monsters grin -- so I'm off on the right foot (although I did start
a new sweater in early December! Front and back knitted, expect to
finish sweater before Jan 24 )

Welcome, back, Blossom!

I see why starting is so much easier than finishing - those are some big
projects! Lots of detail.

Stick around and I hope we can inspire you to finish them without
leading your *too* far astray....

Though this new release is causing me to go weak in the knees with
ebbing resolve:

Hey Sue,

Did you absolutely have to show me that again. I've been struggling since I
saw it yesterday not to order it just to sit with the rest of the charts I
own that may never get done unless I learn how to live forever.

Lucille

ps-Welcome back Blossom

Plenty of projects there for you. The Purple perfections is really nice -
remember seeing the chart.

And we won't even go into the knitting & crocheting WIPs and UFOs...
However, I did neaten up the craft closet in October and label
everything with what needed to be done to complete these little
monsters grin -- so I'm off on the right foot (although I did start

more sharing.
