A new "let's finish it" group is born!

oh dear me, Patti,
i will be working only with the stash i have now. if i cant find what i want
then its not what the design needs.
that said.....
theres just so many designs out there to tackle and i just cant decide which
to do first. its all wrapped round the fabrics for said designs as well of
course.
so i try to imagine what fabrics i'll use in a particular design but by the
time i think about that a while the brain goes off on another design idea
and well i just dont get much done at all.

i'm working on a lovely flower wreath block kit now.
its going well but slowly. the petals on the flowers are only one centimetre
across and theres 12 flowers on it with 4 petals each and then 2 wee leaves
the same size between each flower. the stitches are so tiny i do it without
my glasses right up close and i can only handle doing 4 or 6 petals in any
one sitting.
i'm getting there though sloooooooowly. sigh...
then theres the embroidery to add to it. then i dont quite know what i'll do
with the block. oh well, i might get an idea when its finished.
i'd really be happy to consider any designs though. perhaps some rctq'rs
have ideas they could email me for consideration. maybe that would get me
moving.
come on rctq fill up my inbox with great ideas/pix/urls that appeal to you.
applique designs of course are what i'm after...just said that incase you
forgot by the time you got thru this loooooooong post, lol.

Any other day I'd have said yes please but not today! We've been sent
another lot of chippys (that's the 3rd set the site supervisor has given us)
and these are the best. The frame for upstairs is up and they are wrapping
it in foil tonight - so no rain/snow/heavy winds as I'm not sure I'll
survive the stress!!

decide what you want to finish and/or start in 2004 and share that with the
group either in an email or as a file. Then each month we share our
accomplishments - or not - with the group. We post pictures of our
projects, support each other through crunch times and cheer the finished
projects. I see that many folks are setting up goals for next year, so if
you have WIPs and PIGS that you plan on finishing next year, feel free to
join. You can reach the group by going to

Marissa, I am terminally jealous of your mother! The reason for having
children is to get grandchildren (although I did not realize this back
then).
My DDs are 31 and 27, and due to move up a year in the spring. At least they
never said they didn't want kids!

don't nag them, they'll come around at their own time.. how old are
they? I was never going to get married or have kids (or dye my hair),
and here I am, 3 strikes... BTW, my mom is calling this 2004 Sofia's
year, she said she is probably the most wanted baby ever except maybe
some heiress to a fortune or a throne out there somewhere... ).... I
can't believe how excited my family is about her, I think probably even
more than we are! (I bet they are not thinking of sleepless nights,
poopy diapers, expensive daycare, and the end of life as we know it... I
know, everybody says it is worth it, but I have to see it to believe it!

frustrating
to want something so much and not be able to do anything about it. I did
tell each DD once, but it's no good nagging them. They need suitable
