Other than making 2009 the "Year of the WIP" for me heh, I do have a few more defined goals. Yes, work on WIPs. That is the biggest goal. I have so many that they are really starting to make me go crazy. But, this is me, and no one can really tell a difference. snerk.
I want to finish Fairy Moon.
I want to start and finish Fiona in the HAED SAL.
I want to make progress on Crystal Ball
I want to finish French Flower Shop
I want to finish The Big Zipper
I want to work on HOHRH
I need to finish my best friends wedding piece.
So, to do this, Fairy Moon goes on the back burner for a bit. Fiona will get worked on during the second weekends, when the page gets sent out. And the weeding piece will be started as soon as I finish the model I am working on right now. It is up first and needs to be finished first. I am still debating the fabric for it, though. hmmm... I should do a floss toss for it.

life cont.
and next! Now my car gets busted into. The creeps busted the drivers side window. Too bad for them there was nothing to steal. Bad for me that in this dang snomegaddon I had to drive with a busted window! Bastards, I want to hang them up by their naughty bits.
Got the window fixed today.... ouch. Just what was needed, another bill.
What next!

life
life can sometimes shock ya! My sister will be in town on Friday so I have been getting ready for that. Then tonight... ds breaks his arm. Spent and hour and a half (speedy) in the ER tonight to find that out. He may have to have surgery on it as well. Get to find that out after an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. I am really hoping there will be no surgery. But, we will just have to wait and see. So a bit more stress added to life and the holidays. And another bill. But I am so glad I took him into the ER instead of waiting til tomorrow to take him in to see his doctor! He is a tough little guy (ok, he is 10 and would hate me calling him little, heh) and was just saying it hurt, but wasn't all that bad. Mom instincts and some questions said different.
He busted it pretty good. He really isn't allowed to move it at all and has it in a sling. The splint they put his arm in goes from his knuckles all the way to nearly his armpit. It will be at least 6-8 weeks before it's off.... without surgery. That's all I know now... After the visit to the surgeon I will know more.
One good thing... it is his left arm, and he is right handed, so we can still do school. He is already making a list of all the things he can still do, not what he can't do. And for now he is ok with it. I know boredom will set in. He isn't a kid to sit still, what boy does?!

A Finish
I finished up Salem Sisters. Yes, I should have been working on Fairy Moon, but, heh.... all that white! snerk. So, yet again I put it off and just working on my small. I don't have a picture of it cause it has been way to rainy here to get a decent one. I'll try again later and put one up.
I've been working on a UFO RR. It's really kinda pretty. I like the colours. Some pretty blues. I've been working on the light yellow colour.

been a bit
guess I haven't been posting. heh. Time has just been getting by me. But I have been busy so I will have some pictures to share. That should at least be a plus.
I have now finished A Virtuous Huswif... at least the stitching of it... it isn't anywhere near being a huswif yet, nor will it be any time soon. Can't see finding the time for that until well after the holidays. But, with the stitching done, at least I am one step closer to getting there, right?
Now that it is finished I pulled out an older WiP to work on... Fairy Moon. And hope to make some progress on her. Granted I am now down to the never ending white skirt of doom, so I will most likely be needed to take the occasional break from her, but that is what my little small projects are for. So, I have the plans. And plans are good.
November Goals
X-mas exchange- stitch and mail off--Done
Family ornaments- stitch a few, yup I am late getting to these--Did Three
HAED SAL--Did, and frogged a ton... so this one is getting the toss
Stitch more on A Virtuous Huswif--Done, and it's finished
Stitch on UFO RR when it shows up--Done, need to mail off soon.
December Goals
Stitch on Fairy Moon
Prepare stuff for HAED 2009 SAL
Mail off UFO RR
Pretty easy goals this time, but hey it is the holidays. I am also starting to make my solid plans for the next year. My year of WiPs. I will have one new start and that will be the chart for the HAED 2009 SAL. They showed the four charts they will be doing... and there was only one that called to me. When I saw the artists I was doubtful if any would be calling me. But one did. So, I will be doing Fiona. Every other month they will send out a part of the chart. This will be my one true NEW start. I don't know if I will count the smalls as new starts, they just give me breaks between my BAPy type WiPs. But, this will really be my year of WiPs, no new starts of big charts.
Edited to add: I lied a little... there will be one other new start next year. A wedding piece for my best friend. Can't forget about that. heh. but, it is a gift, so, yeah... it doesn't count!
