Happy New Year to all!
I usually post the ceremonial dumping of the ort jar, but I dumped it before I remembered to take a picture. Oops!
But I had a lovely afternoon stitching with members of the Western Reserve Sampler Guild, and I managed to finish another motif on RST 1779:
I had planned to have more done by now, but best-laid plans never stay laid. Actually, I was unwell earlier in the week. Let's just say that my plans to lose the Halloween candy/Thanksgiving feast/Christmas cookies weight are no longer necessary and leave it at that.
I've been scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, looking at all the accomplishments of my sister (and brother) stitchers, and it is impressive! Even more impressive are the plans for 2025. I decided not to fall into any SALs or 12 by 12 project lists, I did succumb to WIPGO.
However, my WIPGO chart is covered with projects that I need to assemble. I'm tired to tripping over the finishing basket, or picking up project bags that have fallen out of the basket and stuffing them back in, or wondering why the elves haven't arrived to put everything together for me.
Do I think I'll be successful? Maybe? Who knows. My main goal for 2025 is to enjoy the journey, wherever it takes me and however it happens.
Please take good care of yourself🩷. Wow!!! The 1779 RST sampler is gorgeous on that linen just as you predicted. Each of your Queen Stitches is a work of art. 🩷🥰🩷
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is a beautiful sampler, and the colors are so soft and sweet. I love it!
DeleteHappy New Year, Ann! Great to see you yesterday...even though on line! I too hope to enjoy my stitching journey this year.....wherever it leads me!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that fun yesterday? I hope to make that part of my New Year's from now on. And I'm looking forward to seeing what you stitch in the coming year.
DeleteRST is looking amazing, Ann. I hope you are feeling much better. Wishing you a very happy and stitch-filled New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is a journey--I'm trying to enjoy each bit instead of looking ahead to see how much more needs to be done. That may be a good way to view the coming year, too.
