This month so far, and aside from my little finishes, I\u2019ve been trying to move along on The Drawn Thread\u2019s Sampler of Stitches. My goal is to finish it by my birthday March 28, and ideally by spring break which starts March 10 so I can dive into a new Big Start to work on this year. I know I can do it but not if I don\u2019t keep at it!<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019ve very nearly finished VWX. The specialty stitches are always so fun to learn and work\u2026well some more than others maybe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a new start which will be my small for this month, the Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands On Design. A friend is lending me the chart and I have to get it back to her! It feels a little unseasonal to be stitching pumpkins in January but there it is. It is going along pretty quickly thanks to baseball tournaments which afford nice long stitching sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been planning new things for the year too. I have an adorable stitch for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop! I also have kitted a couple of what I\u2019m calling my Attic Squirrels\u2026designs I see at work and can\u2019t live without. It is a hazard of working in a shop I guess, and while I\u2019ve been pretty \u201cgood\u201d about resisting overall, one\u2019s powers do wear down eventually when one is surround by temptations! The main trouble is what to start first???<\/p>\n\n\n
