I'm back...

Well, as I predicted, nothing in the way of putting needle and thread together has happened since well before Christmas... Now that the BIG day has passed and will be out of sight for another year my mind has turned back to what I planned before the madness set in... Today I thought more about projects for my ‘All Stitched Up’ stitching (taking control of UFO’s) list. I have added another one – the cross stitch ‘Love’ sampler which has been on the go for more years than I care to remember. I also hunted out the Gail Pan BOM Christmas stitchery and I traced the final two blocks ‘Magic’ and ‘Noel’ – this one has been over a year since I started it – Feb 2009 to be exact - you never know I could have it finished for Christmas 2011.

I feel good that I have made a start and that they are all at the ready for me to pick up from where I left off... So far that is three out of the allowable five – enough without me going into overwhelm... Mind you while I was trying to locate those I found others... G, I don’t think I will be going to another show for quite awhile – only kidding!!

I would like to think that this time next year I will have a completed a strike through on each of these. LOL- unfortunately there are many more to take their places when the first three are complete. I have thought about making an entire list but I believe that would just overwhelm me at the moment. However, I am seriously thinking about selling some of the ones I know will never see the light of day...

My Christmas gifts among other things included two books. One was ‘The Art Quilt Collection – Designs and Inspirations from Around the World’ – looking forward to spending some quality time with this one soon... The other book I received was ‘The Big Book of Cross-Stitch Designs’ put out by Readers Digest – I couldn’t count the number of times I have borrowed if from the library and I have debated buying it. There are lots of lovely designs including a couple of samplers...


P bought me the first two seasons of The House of Eliott for Christmas and I can imagine some nights with me, the telly and my stitching... Ahhhhh... Bliss!!!!

But for now I bid thee fond farewell...
