Hello,
Thank you for that lovely welcome back...
I don't intend to set many goals this year as I'm rather over ambitious and just end up getting a little bit stressed out. So for 2017 here are my goals. I'm going to attempt 17 stitching projects in 2017. I have listed 16 as I'm sure something else will catch my eye during the year. The WIP's must be completed and the new starts - started!! I've put my quilt down and the 3 crochet projects I have on the go too down but they don't count in the 17. Despite me saying I'm not setting goals - that's more than last year and also includes several 4 WIP's from last year too. My theory is that I will complete the 7 WIP's and then have 3 to go into 2018 with along with a handful of small finishes too. I'm hoping this will help me stash bust too as only the humbug and ES need to be kitted up.

I also saw on Katie's blog about her box of shame where all
her completed projects languish. I too have a box of shame buried under the bed
somewhere, (At least I think that's where it is) which contains several
completed pieces of work which I intend to get done framed this year. As I'm on
a tight budget I will be trying to source frames from charity shops and then
upcycle them. Best I start carrying a tape measure and sizes of frames needed
with me. I've also added all the sizes of frames I need for the above projects too.
So wish me luck!
Happy stitching in 2017
Good luck with your plans for the year.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. My goal is just to stitch something this year. Anything!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a bit of stitching, but I think you can do it. Good luck and it will be fun watching your progress.
