My wish list growth I want Winter Garden, Heaven and Hell, Flowers on Stalks and Painters Garden AND VICTORIA - check out the Rabbit Original Design - Frameweight Patricia Specncer's Twister Indigo Rose "Hannah's Box" - from MANRA getway What do you plan (operative word) to complete in 2009? All of the above, plus..... Drawn Thread "Love and Wisdom" Dranw Thread "Welcome Spot Sampler" Sampler I modified for wedding (now anniversary present) that I think is from Blackbird designs or La-Di-Da.... And, maybe "True Love" by Drawn Thread - I think, and is OOP now. AND....Do you have a plan, method, technique for attacking the UFO/ WIPs in 2009? Working on 1 significant project - regularly. Then picking one of the WIPs - starting with "fun" - and doing at least 30 min on that before I can switch to whatever I "want" to do. I keep setting little goals. Or, if I only have a short time - I've put a couple of the WIPs in different rooms - so that if I've just got a few minutes - I can at least work on the simpler ones - even if I'm just sitting in the kitchen waiting for water to boil. What's helping now is that I've kind of got a teaching schedule, and am working some proposals, so that gives me impetus to work in a dedicated fashion on those pieces. I'm hoping to keep on going while I'm fully in the mode of stitching - and fortunately so many are so close to completion, plus I can't afford to be buying new until the job thing has straightened out for a while. New projects you've saved to start in the new year? Carriage House Samplings "Black Willow Farm" (pretty straightforward) Raise the Roof "Off the Deep End" (fun stitch) Queenstown Sampler "Anne Barrierre" http://tinyurl.com/94bpp6 (challenging piece) Earth Threads - Forest Sampler - it's an old design, but not too large, and I've got it kitted with silks - and been wanting to crank on it, so..... I started Amethyst Dreams late in 2008 (since it was a Christmas present) and I am sure it will be my first finish of 2009. I bet you crank through it pretty quickly. I have the beached theme NP piece saved for later. When my sister was here, she picked a Nancy Coffelt Christmas canvas she wants as her present next year, so we ordered it and I received it this week. (Hey, early start on Christmas shopping!) Didn't finish my Tiki piece,so I have that when I need some embroidery work! I really want to get to Sampler Cove's Thriller one of these days and I should probably start BOAF Autum so I can get three done - it's my least favorite of the four, the first time I did it it got ruined so I am hard pressed to want to pull it and do it! I know, though, that I *do* want to get all four done! LInda Sounds like a good plan. I'm not even going to talk about the large painted canvas of tropical birds that DH really wants me to work on. I may, may get it started soon - depends on the job thing, as I need to acquire more threads - and it's got a lot of silk, and special stuff. Happy no one else asks for stitched gifts! Also, I think that I'm going to do some purging of my stash, and sell some charts that are just never going to get stitched. Anyone want the Mirabilia Madonna chart??? I'll skip that one. I have exactly one of her charts. I'll stitch it one day, but it is no where near the top of my list. Cheryl |

Thanks - it's really cute. I'm doing it on a pale purple hand-dye, not doing the separate white piece to applique on. It's for our friends that he used to play hockey with us (lawyer, moved here from San Diego), and she was a lobbyist. DH was best man, I did their very complicated wedding (and multiple events). Baby is just turning 1. The new mom, love her - from a huge family in Conn, folks live in the house built by the great-great in the mid 1800s. Anyhow, this is the friend who when we were doing some wedding stationery ordering (my framer/LNS also reps a line of stationery/invites) walked up to where the framed pieces waiting to be picked up were hanging, looked at some gorgeou piece - either an Indigo Rose or Drawn Thread - and said to me "don't ever give me something like this - it won't get hung-up" . So, I assured her I know them well and wouldn't. This piece is perfect for the baby - as mom is kind of frantic, quirky at times, and a stay-at home mom now (she got laid off 2 weeks post their honeymoon 3 years ago) And the baby room is in pink, yellow and pale purple. I started doing it with silk, and actually changed back to cotton - didn't like the silk on the fabric. The fabric is not easy to stitch - it's 32 ct, and this dye really closed the holes up. I'll put up a pic eventually. Mill Hill Bead Kit "Martini" Der Feine Faden "Old Macdonald Had a Farm" http://europeanxs.com/cgi-bin/general.pl?def- You had to send me back to look at more of their stuff. My wish list growth I want Winter Garden, Heaven and Hell, Flowers on Stalks and Painters Garden I know. I know. I'm picking which Martina piece I'm going to do ..... AND VICTORIA - check out the Rabbit *snipping lots of chat* Also, I think that I'm going to do some purging of my stash, and sell some charts that are just never going to get stitched. Anyone want the Mirabilia Madonna chart??? I'll skip that one. I have exactly one of her charts. I'll stitch it one day, but it is no where near the top of my list. Cheryl I know that feeling. I actually like this piece, and bought it to do for our very Catholic friends, who had 4 little stair-steps in well less than 6 years. But, then I realized I just cannot put that much time into a gift for them - so.....But, I may change my mind. Who knows. Ellice |

Well, clearly I'm a promiscuous stitcher, but I practised abstinence last year and didn't get anything embroidery related done. Some jewellery, and a bit of knitting, but that was it. So anything I'm carrying with me into the new year has been with me for a while. I'd like to start a table cloth this year, but am bouncing between one in Barbara Hammet's William Morris in Crossstitch, and one featuring a ring of strawberries from a book of Norwegian cross stitch patterns. Before I start that, however, I'd like to finish reupholstering my living room furniture and that afghan I'm knitting. And then there are the big pillows for my bed. Other than that, there are some computer programs I want to learn, and weight, of course, or rather, more healthful eating. Somehow the latter seems less prone to unrealistic expectations.
