    Wow Florenceem what a list! That rivals my regular list making! I LOVE the rocking chair - what a makeover. Update on my 14in14.
    I have finished two things not on my original list and will post photos as soon as I can find them!
    1. 2 cushion covers for the 'book nook' in my class
    2. A little red riding hood cape for role play.
    I have uploaded photos of my WIP's to my Flickr account but am obviously doing something wrong as it won't let me post a link as a new user.
    ‘One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things’ said Mole.Cross stitch cafe TaDa Enjoy the Little Things, WIP Love cats, ‘A Year in the Life of’ HSC July-December and The Seasons graphic sampler. Read 13/100 2025 all owned or borrowed.

    Hmm will have to get a flickr account but will be some time till i finish the epic dr blanket. Update time: 4 cybermen squares, 3 1/3 DW logo squares and 1 tardis weeping angel done. Dd2 sez i should have had each pattern (ie 4 squares) as a project lol.
    Other bit of excitement is a new wool shop and it has a fortnightly knitting night. Going to my first one this thursday with sheep hottie cover as am stuck on the shaping :D

    th_IMG_0696_zpse0500679.jpg
    this is the bridesmaids dress i wore over 40 years ago at my aunts wedding that i plan to make into cushion covers

    My first thought was "that looks like the right colour to make a cushion for my Geisha piece" :rotfl:

    Will watch with interest what you decide - it's far too nice to stay in the cupboard
  • Welcome greentiger What a lovely varied list - am looking forward to seeing your updates. As you've probably realised changing your mind about your list of projects for the year is perfectly ok

    Love your bunting

    florenceem You are putting the rest of us to shame with your list of 25 :D
    Love what you've done with the rocker

    sweetcarer beautiful sampler and such a lovely thought when you have other things on your mind

    charly27 well done on your finishes.

    As for me I am nearing the end of my superhero name - am on letter 5 of 5 and then need to add a date and it's done.

    Have added a completely new project to my to do list as I have been invited to a summer wedding and plan to do this design

    114letma.jpg

    That's my 2nd wedding sampler this year.

    Stitching Row has been framed but didn't have time to collect it from the framers at the weekend - hopefully will do so this Saturday so will be able to post a picture.

    Isn't our Flickr gallery looking wonderful :T
