My 2005 mission
I generally don't make any New Year resolutions, but this year I'm making an
exception. My resolution is to complete at three old projects! And NOT to start a new one until those are done. I'm 1/3 of the way through one of those projects keep me motivated! Sandra |

You can do it! Last year I completed 5 or 6 projects in various stages of
being WIPs -- and framed all but one! I also finished 4 sweaters (knitting and crocheting). I had accumulated/created a huge stage of WIPs -- and business didn't look good & $$ was pretty tightly rationed... so I told myself I'd finish up stuff and RESIST the urge to buy more and more and more (did pretty good on the buying except for beads & floss needed to finish needlework & yarn-yarn-yarn on sale). I didn't do as good on the pledge to not start anything new... but I only started projects that I had all the materials for AND I actually dissassembled 2 sweaters that were miles too large or just plain icky -- one of them is the body tube for a sweater knitted in the round -- next... sleeves!!

How's this for motivation? I started to cross stitch a teddy bear alphabet
for someone's 3rd birthday. Gave up on that idea as it would never get done in time (she got something else as a present). Decided to finish and keep it for my own kids. They never came, so I decided to just keep it for myself as I love teddies. After all that, I had it not quite finished off for quite some time. On Monday, I finally put a border and backing on it and turned it into a wallhanging. I also did the same with a small companion piece that went with it. They are finally finished and up on my wall. By the way, that three year old will turn 15 this year! :-) -- Leigh Harris Perth, Western Australia www.leighharris.info (Real email is bearleigh at bigpond dot com) wrote I generally don't make any New Year resolutions, but this year I'm making an exception.
