Okay, I think I have finally figured out what I am going to be working on this year. A couple massive long term projects, a couple medium sized and some unknown small ones to keep my motivation up throughout the year. So for my BIL's baby due in June I will be doing the Baby Express Birth Record. Here is my progress so far:
And then for my BIL's wedding I will be doing First Love Wedding Record. The wedding is in October so I want to get a good start on the birth record before I dive into the wedding pattern.
Then I have my HAED project that I mentioned before. A Purrfect Morning is soo cute and I want to do it for my mom since she collects angels and I know she will love it. I am realizing though, since I do want to work on other projects, and I have 3 young children that I need to pay attention to, that September 2011 may be a bit too short of a timeline, considering the intricacy of the HAED patterns. We'll see how it goes! I have a small (I do mean small)start on this project, here it is:
I have the Xitch SAL too, which is the other massive project, but I am wondering if it is too big. I think I will keep working on it slowly and maybe the excitement will come back. Probabyl not a good sign that I am losing interest so quickly after starting it...
I am very tempted by the LHN ornament of the month series. They are so cute and I may have to add a couple of them into my rotation. They would be great Christmas gifts!! I would also like to practice some different finishes, at the top of my list is a scissor fob, so that will likely be the next small that I do.
I have been lucky in blog-land over the last month. I have won two giveaways! I was soo excited. The first is a Lizzie Kate pinkeep from Angela's blog and the second is an issue of JCS from Julie's blog. Thanks to these lovely ladies for the contests and once my winnings arrive I will post some photos!!
Oh and last but not least, speaking of giveaway's, head on over to Elaine's blog for her fabulous Valentine's giveaway!
Thanks for reading, hope everyone is doing well! Happy stitching!
I admire you for starting a HAED piece Lorilee--I don't think I would ever have the patience. I just started on one of the LHN ornaments (Fa La La)...it is so cute and a quick stitch for a busy mom like you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your giveaways :)
You are going to be a very busy lady with all that stitching. I am looking forward to seeing you progress on all of them.
ReplyDeleteThey will all come to maturity. Just keep plugging at it. Focus. Focus. Focus. (smile) Oh, and don't forget to enjoi the process.
