This is who I am

My plan for 2011 is to stitch on the following designs. Once I start stitching I may change to an hourly rotation.

Mirabilia – Summer Queen
The Cat’s Whiskers – Red Desert Scissor Pocket
With My Needle – Quaker Needlework Treasures
French Alphabet Sampler
Le Marquoir de Justine
Carriage House Samplings – Houses of Hawk Run Hollow

Needlepoint

New Start – Sampler
New Start – Winter Design – small
New Start – Fall Design – small
New Start – Halloween Design – small

The ornaments will be new starts. I am in a private exchange where we stitch the same design 3 times and exchange 2 of them with the other 2 ladies in the exchange. 

1 new start that’s a sampler and 3 other new starts that will be small seasonal designs to use in some decorating I have planned for this year.

I am also going on a spending hiatus due to my upcoming move. I do have exceptions to this:

I attend a stitching *class* once a month (sometimes twice if there are 5 Saturdays in a month) and have to pay the teacher. I will be taking ONLY my needlepoint project to the class to ensure I’m getting my money’s worth from the fees.

I will continue to purchase SANQ when it comes out.

I will also continue to purchase a JCS magazine after I’ve thumbed through it at a bookstore to ensure there are designs in the issue I like.

My intentions are to spend no other money unless I need something to complete one of the WIPs listed above or for something needed to finish out one of the ornaments.
