Plan for 2011

I wrote this down on another site... then thought it would make sense to copy/paste it here.  So, that is what I am doing.

Every time I make a list of what I want to stitch for the year... I seem to go running off with other stash instead. That said this is what I would like to try and do.


1. Crystal Ball (as my WW) I'd love to get a few more pages done

2. HAED SAL Blue Fairy-- finishing this would be full of win

3. Blackbird Designs mini-stockings -- would love to do each month as it comes, though it would be smarter to do each month the month before so I can display them.

4. Mini Gingham months -- finish the last of these

5. Start Yaquina Head Lighthouse for in-laws

6. Finish a few more smalls from my smalls list

7. Finish Odd and Ends

8. Another house or two into HOHRH


Well, there is the list. I wonder what I will really end up doing. hahah.

I guess somewhere on there I should have finish the 3 PIFs I have to do.  yeah... that should be on there.  blush

Progress without pictures

Maybe not a very catching post title, but very correct.

I am making progress on Crystal Ball, but I have not taken a photo of it.  I am really trying to finish this line of pages before the New Year.  I am nearly done with page 7, and page 8 is smaller.  So I do think I will be able to pull it off.  Then I will take a full picture of the piece. 

My plan in January is still to try and work on Crystal Ball for the first 15 days, at least.  I have really enjoyed stitching on this one again.  It would be even better if I somehow got around to finishing it some year.  snerk.

Yeep!

Yes, I am still here.  The past few weeks have just been crazy.  Amazing how much time the holidays snatch from my stitching.  I am going a bit crazy without my stitching to do, so I am squeeking some in where I can.  It makes me a much nicer person to be around. heh.

People on blogs have started their yearly... what is next years crafty plan.  There has been one idea floated around by many.  The Crazy January Plan.  Where you start a new start for each of the first 15 days in January... and then try to get them all finished that year as well.  For a brief hour or so I had thoughts, ideas, plans.... There were bits of kits flying around the living room as I made lists.  Then reality hit.  This would be a BAD idea for me!  I have too many WIPs now!  To start another 15... which, I know, I wouldn't finish next year, isn't the best use of my time, or my stash.  That said... I can't wait to live vicariously through those bloggers who are going to do this.   mwahahahhahahaa.

Other people are planning on stitching on their White Whale project.  You know... that one that just never seems to get started, for a million reasons, that you really really would like to do, but keep coming up with reasons to not start.  Yeah, that one.

This has opened the door for what the heck my plan is.  I am still working on the finish 50 charts thing.  Wow, has that helped the ol' clicky finger not get into trouble with new chart buys.  So, next year I will be continuing with that.  I am also going to pull out an old WIP, a BAP in fact... and try to work on it each day in January.  In fact, I have already pulled it out and started putting stitched in it again.  It feels good to get this one moving again.
