Final Plans For Rest Of 2018/2019

Hi Stitchers.

I'm ready For 2019

I was looking for something in my stitching stuff at the start of this week.

I saw all the zip lock bags I have of beads and kreinik for the cross stitch projects I'm stitching or wanted to start, everything to finish them. 

Too many bags and lots of money just siting there, waiting to be used.

I made a plan around all the beads and kreinik that's just sitting there.

Here's my final plans

As you all know I'm doing my money box.

I got a notebook to keep track,

1. New start $5.00

2. Re start 10 cents 

3. Finish 20 cents

4. Page finish on a heaven and earth 50 cents 

5. New chart buy in 2019 $1.00

My mum is giving me my money box for Christmas so I will show you that in the new year.

I'm going to do my own year of Wips. Not join a group.

I'm not making any goals, they will be my focus but I can and will stitch other projects as I feel like.

I would like to finish, start or make progress on all of the following. 

1st of January new start will be Mini Red Queen Red Dragon (I have my $5.00 all ready) 

From my Wips as follows 

Mini Pirate, (I would still like to get it finished.)

Lilly Of the woods

Sweet pea fairy

Spring fairy

Songbird's garden series 

Electra

Owl

Halloween Quaker 

The south sea mermaid

Renaissance mermaid

Spring topiary garden

Treasures of the deep Sal (I would love to get finished)

Raven

Minerva

Tropical Christmas both books

New starts as follows 

Snapdragon

Mermaids of the deep blue

Sea flora (I made a little start this week, see Friday)

Cassiopeia

To get or waiting for in the mail as follows (for now, might be others later).

Miss moss

Fairy of the wind

Most have been put in my 14 project bags and have the beads, kreinik, fabric, any other thread. 

I want to use what I've already got.

Now at times I will pick what I stitch but I will also let tiny decisions app pick for me.

On the wheel I have all the above and

Mill hill kit

Big box of my other Wips

If I want to do a new start other then above, I will.

I'm going to give myself the freedom to stitch what I want but my focus is above.

See how well I do at the end of 2019!! 

Hope to see a finish or four by the end of the year with the above projects.

If not, that's ok too. It's stitching and I want to enjoy it after all.

That's my plans for the rest of 2018 onto 2019.

Happy stitching!!!

More Halloween Stitching

Hi stitchers, thank you for all your comments.

With my new fabric post I've changed my mind on 1 or 2 but you will see that when I get around to stitching the charts.

This week I stitched Halloween Quaker by Lila's studio

I'm so happy I got the little village stitched, it's part of the chart that I really love.

Before

And now

It's getting there.

Next was a new start called Moonbeams and Stardust Witch by Stoney Creek

Will look like this

And what I've stitched so far. 

She is on 16ct Aida jacaranda haze by stitches and spice who closed down years ago. I've had this purple grey in my stash for ages. 

I also got more fabric this week. My order from colour cascade.

This week I changed around my Wips and finished stitching. 

All my Wips are now in a storage container and my finished stitching in a drawer with charts that are kitted with fabric. Really to start.

As you know I watch YouTube, flosstube. People are starting to talk about plans in the new year.

Here are mine.

Rest of October I will still stitch Halloween. 

It is getting harder not to stitch on my Sal, the October mermaid came out this week. 

November and December I'm going to start lots of Christmas charts, maybe a few others too, stitch on the Wips that have been calling me but also use that coloured wheel to pick a wip.

New year I'm going to use the wheel. I have all my Wips on it and I've added mill hill kit and start a new start. I will add all the new starts that I do this year. If a wip calls to me then I will stitch it but mostly it will be a pick from the wheel. How long I stitch on a project is up to me at the time.

I want to stitch on many and it's hard to pick sometimes.

My one goal next year is to get my Wips down. I would like to end 2019 with less then I started the year with but we will see how that goes. If I don't then I don't.

That's my plan anyway. Sound good. I'm pretty sure I can stay with this plan I've made.

Until next time Happy Stitching!
