My Goals for 2011

maybe a little too optimistic....as always ;)

Did somebody say I have to pick 15 WIP's? I picked a few more and I am embarrassed having to admit that there are "a few" more....anyways, I spent a while taking pictures.

Finally all together there are 21 I picked out of my pile:


Here the ones I would like to make some progress on:


1. Carriage House Samplings - Black Horse Inn barely started, even had to frog most of what I stitched.

2. Cross Eyed Cricket, Inc. - Skeleton Crewstarted about 2 years ago

3. Heaven and Earth Designs - Real Snow Job, A not more than a start either. Not even 1 page out of...???...28 or so...

4. Rosewood Manor Designs - And A Forest Grewmaybe 1/4 to 1/3 done

5. Victoria Sampler - Heirloom Homecoming Sampler accessory pack rustic Don't know why I don't do any stitching on it. It is a lot of fun but needs some attention I sometimes don't have any more after work

And these are the ones I would love to finish:

1. Acufactum - Findus the Painter. I started this when Lisa was about 2 years old...I better hurry now otherwise she will be too old for it

2. Atalie - La Vie en Bleu. So many special stitches - so much fun. I just somehow didn't order enough of the silks. Should probably order some extra stuff to make it worth ordering in France. LOL

3. Blue Ribbon Designs - Peppermint Twist Started this as an SAL on a special Peppermint Twist SAL blog....

4. Dahlbeck - Crazy Christmas Tree Row. Not a big project. I think, I started this some time in 2006

5. DMC - Tulip. Started long, long time ago....

6. Drawn Thread - Autumn Arbor

7. Drawn Thread - The Birth Band Started this when I was in the hospital in June 2007, just before we came to Canada

8. Drawn Thread - Toccata Two So beautiful....

9. Haandarbejdets Fremme - Gerda Bengtsson - Thistle. I absolutely love thistles...

10. Jardin Prive - My Lady's Quaker. Started in 2009. I made color changes and did not write down what I am using - have to find the right brown now...

11. Jeannette Douglas Designs - Take Time To Quilt

12. Little House Needleworks - Quilting. Should be a quick finish.

13. Permin of Copenhagen - Sampler 1852 HH21168 If I rememeber right, I started it in 2001 or 2002. It is massive, stitched on 28ct linen...

14. Plum Street Samplers - Rubie Owl`s Sampler

15. Shepherds Bush - Into the Night. Started some time in 2010

16. Victoria Sampler - Christmas Treasures Sampler. Started in August 2007

Peppermint Twist SAL night

Last night was Pepperment Twist SAL night again. I managed to stitch quite a bit last night. I just can't decide to fill in the year in the top box....I never know if I will stick with this till it is finished or if it will go in the box to wait a few years.... :) But I am so looking forward to next monday's SAL night as I will stitch the candycane border on top of this part....just love the yummie red.


I decided on a biscornue design for the Tiny Treasures Exchange Group and hope to find some nice silks in my stash. Now that I have finished Deb's Hello Neighbor RR I can concentrate on that. The mailing deadline is March 31, 2009.

Not too much stitching at the guild meeting....more chatting and laughing ;) Hopefully I will get done more again next week. Or maybe I put some stitches in it at the weekend...we will see...



We got a bit more snow today. I still love the snow. It is so much more nicer to see the snow falling than the rain.....wave to my friends in Germany. LOL

So, what am I going to stitch on tonight? Is it already tuesday????? Than it will be From Sea to Shining Sea.
See you later....

Monday was Peppermint Twist SAL day. We spend another lazy day at home...a lot of stitching time for me :) Nobody felt really well. Isn't that bad on a holiday...



Thank you for the get-well wishes. I think today was the worst day. Hopefully I will be a lot better tomorrow.
Not too much stitching for me tonight but early bedtime...

During my blogging absence I finished Karen's Hello Neighbor RR. It was the last house to stitch. So her RR is finally finished and on it's way home:


I hope so much she likes how her RR turned out. This is the house I stitched for her. It is a house from the design "Fruit of the Spirit" by Plum Street Samplers. On this picture the colour of the fabric is more similar to the "real" fabric.


Last night was Peppermint Twist SAL night and after I got my silks last friday in the mail it was the first SAL night for me.I enjoyed stitching it so much... I am looking forward to next monday's stitching session :)
