What do you do on the last day of the year?

Wish everyone a Happy New Year?

Recap the last year?

Plan for the next one?

Actually I thought I’d just mention a couple of recent starts that I’ll be working on in the new year.

Joy by Stitcheree!

 

 

I started this for the LNS exchange.  Maybe next year. J  I’ve also made a small start on Stitcheree’s Merry & Bright.  No pictures until I decide whether I started in the right spot.

This was meant to be in honor of Firefly’s 10^th anniversary.  That and I just like it.

Beinvenue by Jardin Prive

 

 

My daughter says she likes sheep.  What other reason could I need?

There’s also the sailboat picture I started for my brother, the By the Bay Fall SAL and the Christmas Mystery SAL by The Little Shop Around the Corner.  All of which will provide me hours of entertainment and in no way keep me from starting something new at the drop of a needle.

Happy stitching World.

Happy New Year!

IHSW November

Be still my heart!  I think I finally found a reason for not finishing something.  It’s for those times when I’m working on something I can’t show, like my exchange pieces.  Then I pull it out, work on it and TA-DA.

So; a head, a tail, some orange (what else) and a circle and a half later, I give you, (TA-DA) the Retro Cat.  Or, as he’s known around here at the moment, the Robo Cat.

 

It’s the eyes, or lack of.

 Now actually, since I get carried away with these things, while I can’t show you two of the exchange pieces I’m working on there is another.  I signed up to do an ornament and cookie exchange at my LNS next month.  Still haven’t picked out what cookies to make yet, but there’s a pattern!  I decided on Stitcheree’s latest pattern, Joy.  Here’s my humble beginning.

 

So I have stitching and turkey and cookie making to look forward to this week.  The LNS exchange may not be until next month, but I’m never going to pick a recipe without testing right?  Anyway, I hope you all have a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it this week.

Happy stitching World.
