So many are listing their plans for Stitch Maynia - like they are really going to stick with them? That is 3 months away and there is so much to be done. Such as gardening, cleaning, pulling weeds, finish building the pond, replace the grass with sod, get the inside painting done.... You get it, when is there time for stitching? Well I think any time is good for stitching, but the plumber does not always agree!
If I were to make a list it would include the items in my to do drawer, many of which are kitted up, and some are simply charts. And they are...
1. All of what I got from clubs last year and did not do: Woodland Berry, Tudor Rose Berry (Erica Michaels), Merry Christmas, Christmastime Sewing Roll, Merry and Bright (Pineberry Lane)
2. Others bought at Sassy Jacks: Bee Queen of the Needles, Prim Needles, Witches Shadows (Primitive Hare)
3. Others I just like from a while ago (no one needs to know how long): Merry One, Pomegranite Santa (Plum Street Samplers), My Black Hen (Teresa Kogut), Octopus's Garden (Blackbird Designs), Paul Revere's Ride, Crossing the Delaware, Betsy Ross (Willow Hill), Prairie Schooler Santas, Embroideress Stocking (Kathy Barrick), Antique Animal Sampler (Elizabeth's Needlework Designs), Lucy Redd Sampler (Homespun Elegance),
4. Christmas ornaments for grandbabies that I did not do last year
and the list goes on, with all the Halloween things I love (pumpkins, black cats, etc)
When the list is so long, how do you choose where to start? With the smallest, the oldest, the least complicated, the prettiest? Throw them up and see what sticks to the ceiling like spagetti? I have till May to decide!
