    Hi there,

    Can I join in - here is my list for 2013

    I have been thinking what to stitch next year and come up with this list -

    1. Calendars - at least 2 (one for me & one for my former MinL) - complete 12/01/2013
    2. AOY charity squares - letter O x 2 - complete 27/01/2013
    3. Birth samplers x 2 complete 04/08/2013
    4. SH adult quiltsquares x6(purple,blue,green,yellow,orange&red) - complete 16/06/2013
    5. SH squares for a weegirl (sharesmybirthday),school&hospital - complete 20/07/2013
    6. Snow drop memorial stitches for my mum and her sisters x 4 - complete 10/02/2013
    7. Purple Work part 2 - complete 31/3/13
    8. Helen Phillips - Winter (from CSC) complete 21/09/2013
    9. Helen Phillips - Spring (from CSC) complete 20/11/2013
    10. Helen Phillips - Summer (from CSC) complete 11/12/13
    11. Helen Phillips - Autumn (from CSC) complete 31/12/13
    12. Blue Sampler (from Work) at least one part complete 24/12/13
    13. Maybe even start but definitely not finish Blackwork of the British Isles (it is 1m x 1.5m). Have started doing the Learning Sampler instead of this - its an 18 month part stitch - started in September 2013 - complete 4 parts out of 18.

    Think that is a bit more than 13, will that matter - some are small like the Snowdrop stitches.

    Kind wishes to all

    Can you add my name please? I have lots of things that I want to make this year, and actually having my name on a list will give the the motivation to get some things made.
    1. to make Christmas cards for 2013 - 70 (will make a start with this in the next few days)
    2. to make individual birthday cards/gift cards/boxes throughout the year
    3. to make a red knitted scarf for a friends husband - promised on a night out (after lots of drinking), so have to make it!
    4. Attempt to make a quilt
    5. Try my hand at jam/chutney making, to give as gifts at christmas
    Others to follow once I have thought what I want to do and update my list. I was given a vintage homemade book for Christmas, which has some great ideas in that I want to try.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    Here's my 2013 list - all cross-stitch related

    UFO's
    1) Mothers Day Bookmark (small free kit)
    2) mouseloft cat and christmas tree (tiny - half done)
    3) mouseloft - fatal error (tiny - half done)
    4) poppy pincushion (quite small - kit)
    5) Humphry's Corner - fishing (kit - a handful of stitches done)
    6) Dinosaur ABC - 1 and a bit pages of 4 completed.

    NEW
    7) Noahs Ark (16"x 20")
    8) Cut-thru: Toy Shop
    9) Dictionary of homes
    10) Christmas Angel
    11) Margaret Sherry "Easy as ABC"
    12) Lucie Heaton Snowglobes - 8 designs
    13) Twas the Night Before Christmas

    Although I SHOULD be completing a UFO first I'm going to do DO Homes first as my friend has been giving 2 months notice to move out


    I have also agreed to stitch some designs for the Sandy Hook Quilt, I would have liked to do a lot but fear I just won't have time so gonna set a minimum of 2 - 1 boy + 1 girl.
    so technically that's 14 projects (is that allowed?)
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    Hi Soulie, can you add me please. Have several crossstitch projects that I can think of but also some sewing and knitting that I need a virtual kick up the btm to get finished.

    Will have a think about a realistic list of 13 things and post it in the next few days.

    Hope you are well.
