I used to claim that I was a pretty selfish stitcher, but it appears that 2006 was an exception. Of everything I stitched, I only kept four pieces for myself. The rest were done as part of a round robin or given as part of an exchange or to my family. (You can see pictures of any and all of the following happy dances in my gallery.)
Kept for myself:
- Home of Needleworker
- Catch the Wind
- Stiefmütterchen
- I Love My Cat
Given to someone in my family:
- Baby’s 1st Christmas
- Oakley’s Dragonfly
- Spring Basket
- Christmyth Unicorn
- Little Feet Baby Sampler
Round Robins:
- 2 rounds SBRR
- Keeping the Eggs Dry
- Autumnology Scarecrow
- 2 rounds SBSRR
- Christmas Eve
- Spring Chair
- 3 rounds RNRR 4
- Lizzie*Kate Spring Square
- Winter Square
- Autumn Heart
- 2 rounds RNRR 1

Total 2006 Finishes: 29
Of course, here is the interesting part: In 2006 I only had five less finishes than in 2005 even though in the middle of the year I packed up my life and moved it back overseas. Not too shabby, I say.
