Plan for 2015

Well, I haven't made good on my intentions of frequent (or any!) posting here, but hopefully I can remedy that in 2015. My boyfriend and I are moving in January - we're finally getting out of New York City! SO EXCITED! So I'll be busy, but I don't want my stitching to suffer, so I'm hoping that blogging will keep me motivated.

I want to try to plan out what I'm doing in 2015. I don't currently have a lot of WIPs, so I plan on having a bunch of new starts and setting up some kind of rotation for the first time. The list below is tentative - I have more than this kitted up and ready to go, so some things may be swapped out for others.

2015 New Starts:
  • The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery 2015 Story Time Sampler SAL
  • Cloudsfactory 2015 Zodiac Sampler SAL
  • Long Dog Samplers Paws and Claws (SAL with the Long Dog Facebook group)
  • Chatelaine Cardinal Bird Tapestry
  • Chatelaine Watergarden Mandala
  • Ink Circles Northwoods
  • Ink Circles Fjord Ponies
  • Disney Dreams The Lion King
  • Steotch Teh Ineffable
Okay, that list ended up being much longer than I thought - let's say it's a "best case scenario" plan :)

I do also have two WIPs from this year that are carrying over. Planning to finish Teresa Wentzler's Summer Carousel Horse might be overly optimistic, but I hope to at least make good progress on her.

I'm also stitching Cloudsfactory's Harry Potter Pillow Sampler as a gift for a friend. It has to be done and assembled by June, but I'm currently about 60% done and want to take advantage of the momentum and just finish it. Here's a picture: what you see is almost complete except for french knots and a bit of backstitching.

Looks like 2015 is going to be a busy year!
