To finish off 2012 I finished this cross stitch that I was working on. My family let my relax in the living room for the most part by myself while I finished off the project. It felt good to end the last day of the year by finishing off a project. It was just in time for me to start a new cross stitch as we watched all the celebrations of ringing in the new year on television. The new cross stitch is a kit that my husband asked me to make for him of a golden retriever sleeping on a quilt.
With it being the being of the year I decided to took a moment to pull out all my unfinished projects to see how much I have to complete. Then made a list of all of the projects and what all I need to get or do to finish each of them. To my amazement I only have about ten unfinished projects currently and that includes the new cross stitch that I started on New Year's Eve/Day. Though it does seem that the projects I need to complete are large or have a lot to them. There are two quilts, one king size top is complete the other is a partially pieced full size top. Then there is a QR code pillow that is cut and ready to sew, a set of six pillows that just need filled (counted as one item on my list), a dream catcher using the feathers from my daughter's chickens, and a skirt that needs a zipper and hemmed. Plus my new cross stitch and of course the cross stitch of my mother-in-law and her dad. Even getting a few projects framed and so they can be hung and not ruined by my kids or animals.
So I plan on finishing off all those projects as soon as I can and hopefully before starting any new projects, unless hired for something. They will have to be worked into my schedule of kids activities and my school work because I start back to school on Monday. Not to mention the house projects that must get finished because they are already started but have been sitting half done, driving me crazy. So basically I am going to have a busy start to the year but it should be a great year. Just take me a little time to get myself a schedule figured out to be able to get a little of everything done each week or how ever I manage to work it out. Wish me luck as I get it all started and work out my schedule.
