New Year's Resolutions Down the Drain

I did not even make it to the end of January before I ditched my New Year's stitching rotation. But I guess it is not a total loss as I have finished all my pre-work of the GAR Townhouse and I made some progress on the Heirloom Stitching Sampler. I think I need to get something DONE before I start on something new. And there are so many projects calling my name!

So I decided to make some serious progress on my Illinois Canvas. I still have around 50 counties to go, but I figure if I can get 20 done before the end of the month, I will be very happy.
Working on it makes me want to dye threads. Thank God my collection of dyes is with a friend who wants to dye some fabric. That removes a little temptation.
I am going to start on the ANG SOTM. Went and bought threads today. (Head hanging low.) Will try to take a picture and post tomorrow. I avoided silks as I am hoping to entice some of my guild members to join me in this mystery. We have a meeting tomorrow and I want to show them.

New Year's Resolutions

No pictures, I am afraid, but I decided to post a few of my resolutions.

This year I will try a rotation system with my needlework. Four big projects and I will rotate them on a weekly basis. If I don't have time to work on needlework that week, too bad. It will go to the end of the line. My first four pieces are:
1-O'Star of Wonder
2-Illinois canvas
3-GAR Townhouse
4 -Heirloom Stitching Sampler

I also will try to stitch at least 12 stitches a day on something! Maybe I will have more finishes this coming year!

Happy New Year!
