Hello 2011!

I have really enjoyed seeing every one's accomplishments from 2010 and their stitching goals for 2011.

As I think back over the past year I am pleased with what I did accomplish. I stitched the Jenny Bean Halloween sampler, Isabella Johnstone, and quite a few ornaments. I did the finishing on about 15 ornaments, that is a big accomplishment for me, I usually only do the finishing on a couple of pieces. M A Tipper was on my list for 2010 but I was distracted by Jenny Bean and Isabella, so she has moved to my main project for 2011.

 I stitched a row and a half this week..can you tell?? This is just going to be slow and steady.

So, looking forward to 2011...

-stitch every day, even if it is only a couple of stitches. I still try and stitch on part of my lunch break. I am hauling around one of my ornament kits.

-Finish M A Tipper(this is her(or his??) year!)

-Continue to work on my ornament kits from the JCS exchange I participated in.
-work on ornament finishing in October and November (A.K.A. the annual finishing frenzy)

-Organize my stitching supplies ( look for more PIF Mondays in the future)
-Learn to be a better blogger. Learn how to add my reading list to my blog ( right now I am listening to the new Washington biography on my commute to work, all 33 cds!! and I am reading The Distant Hours by Kate Morton)
-Continue hiking, deer hunting season ends this week :0)
-etc
-etc.
There are many other small goals as far as things for the house.

Most of all I want to appreciate all the blessings in my life
-my husband
-my home
-my family
-my friends
-my health
-my job
-my cat, yes you too Lex!
-my stitching & reading

The list goes on and on... but also the blogging community. Your work and generosity inspires me every day.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Happy New Year!

Chris
