Incoherent Scribblings

Well, another year has come and gone and at a mere 12, my finished project count for the year is the lowest I have had since I started my stitching blog. I am not really upset about this though. I had so many other things going on in my life that I simply didn’t have time to stitch this year. So, without further ado, let’s look at what I wrote approximately a year ago in regards to my stitching:

WIPs carried over from 2008:

• “Fairy Flora,” Mirabilia – Finished in 2009
• “Spring Queen,” Mirabilia – Didn’t even look at it.
• “Summer’s Magic,” Dragon Dreams (SAL with Dawn) – Finished in 2009
• “Tapestry Cat,” TW Designworks – Disassembled and abandoned
• “Snowman Wisdom,” Stoney Creek – Finished in 2009

Projects for 2009:

• “Too Cute to Spook,” Stoney Creek (SAL with Dawn) – Finished in 2009
• “Skeleton Crew,” Cross-Eyed Cricket (SAL with Dawn) – No
• “Lady Rose,” Joan Elliott – Started, didn’t like the fabric.
• “Kitty Cottage Sampler,” Little House Needleworks – Finished in 2009
• “EduCATed,” Bent Creek – No
• “Little Ballerinas,” Country Cottage Needleworks – No
• “Choo Choo Train,” JBW Designs – Finished in 2009
• “Princess Parade,” Country Cottage Needleworks – No
• “Robert’s Cats” set, XStitch Happy – No

Now, on to 2010!

I debated about whether or not to make any kind of stitching goals this year, but like Kathryn, I think it is a good idea to at least have some things to think about when planning for the year. Besides, after I looked at my list I realized that out of my 12 finishes, 6 came from this list, so I guess goals can be useful after all.

The main goal for 2010 is to finish all of my WIPs from 2009 except one that I think will more than likely end up as a UFO, so here they are:

WIPs carried over from 2009:

• “Butterfly Bungalow,” Country Cottage Needleworks
• “Castle Sampler,” TW Designworks
• “Austrian I,” Bleu de Chine
• “Portrait of Lauren in Blue,” Nora Corbett
• “The Old West,” Little House Needleworks
• “Spring Queen,” Mirabilia
• “Navajo Style,” Joan Elliott (this may possibly become a UFO)

And of course, I wouldn’t be content with only working on WIPs, so I also have a few projects that I’d like to start this year, although as you can imagine this list is subject to change and expansion as I see fit!

Projects for 2010:

• “Lady Rose,” Joan Elliott (I have the fabric now)
• “Little Ballerinas,” Country Cottage Needleworks
• “R,” Nora Corbett Alphabet Series
• “Celtic Summer,” Lavender and Lace

And now, off to stitch!
