2009 Goals

I love Beth Russells William Morris needlepoint collection and did Hare, seem to think Vic said she had done the Rabbit one

I know that feeling. I actually like this piece, and bought it to do for our very Catholic friends, who had 4 little stair-steps in well less than 6 years. But, then I realized I just cannot put that much time into a gift for them - so.....But, I may change my mind. Who knows.

Well, clearly I'm a promiscuous stitcher, but I practised abstinence last year and didn't get anything embroidery related done. Some jewellery, and a bit of knitting, but that was it. So anything I'm carrying with me into the new year has been with me for a while.

I'd like to start a table cloth this year, but am bouncing between one in Barbara Hammet's William Morris in Crossstitch, and one featuring a ring of strawberries from a book of Norwegian cross stitch patterns.

Before I start that, however, I'd like to finish reupholstering my living room furniture and that afghan I'm knitting. And then there are the big pillows for my bed.

Other than that, there are some computer programs I want to learn, and weight, of course, or rather, more healthful eating. Somehow the latter seems less prone to unrealistic expectations. Dora

I'm hoping fidelity to one project will help with the round tuits. Stick to one until I've finished it off and become a black widow of needlework.

We'll see, that might become a bit boring.

One of the perils of monogamy, I'm afraid. Dora

simple for you; difficult for me

I need to find a support group for people with 10 thumbs

I'll try and find the site that does it all with pins or glue. Just do one side at at time.

They have round tuits in Canada, on Newfoundland. When I lived there with my family, my mom got one each for my eldest brother and me. I still have mine, in a box in the bedroom that's "mine" in my parents house. So, as soon as I get a round tuit, I'm going to get it out of the box and.....yes, well, there's the problem.

And I'm planning to finish two cushion covers, and the picture of my mother that I've mentioned on this group before. (Started in 98/99, don't recall which.) And if there's time, I'm sure I'll find something more to stitch :)

I'm sure you will get a round tuit - sigh lol There's a road near Shad Bay called Round Tuit Lane, it goes in past about four houses and comes out further down the hill. I laughed when I saw that, clearly somebody at the bureaucracy didn't make a connection when they applied for the name because there is no sense of humour around those offices.
