March Goals

Where did February go?  I can't believe tomorrow is already March.  I did get a couple of my February goals done.

For February I finished:
  The stitching on 2 RR
 Finished and mailed my Stitch Red Exchange
 Stitch and Mail my Fair & Square Blocks
 Stitched up 2 Valentine Ornaments.

MY MARCH GOALS
  Stitch and Finish Model for CindyMae Designs
  Stitch 2 St. Patricks Ornaments
  Pull threads and start CHS Alphablocks
  Stitch up a Halloween Ornament
  Start my pinkeep exchange piece
  start my Arbor Day Exchange piece
  Stitch and Finish my Winter House Exchange

If I could please ask you to keep my mother in your prayers I would greatly appreciate it.  She is having back surgury on Tuesday.  The surgury will last 5-6 hours and it is a very delicate procedure.  I will let everyone know on Tuesday when surgury is over and how it went.

That's all for now.

Until Next Time
Happy Stitching

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas and spent some wonderful time with family.  I had a great Christmas with my family.

I have started to get myself organinzed for the New Year and started with my stitching.  As you can see on the left side of my blog I made a list of what I would like to stitch in 2010.  I know I won't be able to get everything done, but it is a place to start.  I still have more to add to the list, but am hoping that this will keep me on track and I can thin out some of my stash.  I also am going to continue doing a few exchanges and hope to do some model stitcihng for a deisgner too.

I was thinking of doing a giveaway of my charts when I am finished stitching them.  When I get them stitched I will post a picture of the chart and my stitched piece to my blog.  You will then have say 3 days to leave a comment and I will draw a winner.  I will mail anywhere.  What do you think.  I would love to hear from you.

I have to run.  Need to feed the kids and take our dog to training.  Will post again soon

Until Next Time
Happy Stitching

December Goals

Hey All,

Hard to believe that December is already upon us.  The hosue is decorated for the holidays, now to get the presents wrapped and I should be all set.

I did okay on my November goals, but hop to do better with my December goals.

There were my November Goals:
1. Finish Off The Deep End by Raise the Roof  DIDNT TOUCH YET
2. Finish Shepherd's Bush ornament from this year's JCS ornament issue  ALMOST
3. Stitch Prairie Schooler Free Chart from her website twice  COMPLETED
4. Finish Spooky Halloween Tree from The Trilogy COMPLETED
5. Start & Finish Frank N Boo from Bent Creek  DIDNT EVEN START
6. Stitch another Christmas ornament of my choosing.  COMPLETED
7. Stitch heart on RR  COMPLETED

December Goals:
1.  Finish Prairies Schooler Ornament for Exchange
2.  Stitch Prairie Schooler Ornament for me
3.  Finish Shepherds Bush Ornament
4.  10 hours on Off the Deep End from Raise the Roof
5.  Stitch another Prairie Schooler Ornament for me
6.  Start choosing what I am going to stitch next year.  I would like to stitch 1 small piece a week so i would have 52 finished pieces by the end of the year and could have a cross stitch Christmas tree next year.  Start picking those out.
7.  Stitch one free chart a month from my stash.  I have hundreds of them and would like to get some of them stitched and will choose the 12 I want to stitch next year.

I think I can get these completed.  I will post what I choose to stitch as far as my free charts and my weekly smalls.  I will also stitch on my bigger projects to.  Next year I am going to try and buy only threads and fabrics as I need them and finish up some of the stuff I already have. 

Until Next Time
Happy Stitching
