It was a nice quiet night bringing in the new year, movies and stitching went off without a hitch, however, I did get delayed in my stitching that night--what else is new? I get caught up so easily in reading others blogs. Only about 3 hours instead of 5-6. What are you doing to do??!!
I did start a new project-- like I need one, I already have about 20+? But, it is tradition to start one at least in January. I do not plan like years past to start a gazillion, I do have a resolution to get as many WIPs completed as possible. There are a few other resolutions I made, but most I believe will be pretty easy. Nothing ridiculous like I am going to win the lottery, however, if I do win it, great :) LOL. Continuing to eat healthy, be kind to others, have more patience, you know, pretty easy basics. The big one, is to finish WIPs. I might fall of that wagon!!!!
I started yesterday Little House Needleworks- Old Nantucket on 45ct Vintage Meadow Rue, and because I can never leave well enough alone, converted it to silks and also made a few color adjustments- of course I did, and love making it my own personal sampler. The design is fantastic and it was all the rage this summer. One of my friends promptly converted hers to silk and powered it out-- and it is stunning. Eager to get this one finished and framed. It is a winner. I was able to work on it a bit longer then I had expected, but had to make a color adjustment in the middle, so I ripped out a few things. Tonight, movie night at my in-laws so I will bring it along and see what happens!
Hope all of you had a lovely Holiday, and I look forward to all the new starts going on all over the world!!!!
Happy New Year to all :)
