I think it was on here a couple years ago--
when I read that you should work --even for a little while--
on the projects and things you want to do during the next year--
on New Years Day--
so --
once again I did just that--
here goes--
1. Counted Cross Stitching
I enjoy doing alittle bit of cross stitching each morning after breakfast--
I got this little kit with a Cross stitch magazine for a Christmas gift--
2. Embroidery--
I have always enjoyed embroidery (remember all the baskets of flowers I finished
stitching last year??) and again this is a small kit I got as a Christmas gift--
3.Applique-
I have not done any applique in awhile and have missed it--
so looked though the patterns and decided on this purple butterfly for my new
bathroom--
4. Hand quilting--
I love hand quilting--and I have wanted to do this tea pot quilt since the day
I got the top done--Last year--nope--2018--it was!!! started on the black teapot--
5. Hand piecing--
I have always enjoyed hand piecing but had not done any in a long time--
til this project was a bom last year--got the blocks done
and then started putting them together--
so this is also going to be my--
for January--to finish the top--and get it ready for hand quilting!!
6. Sew on the machine-
Love my new sewing machine--so hope to make some new quilts--
and to put together some of the 'block sets' I have waiting 'patiently' for me in the tote!!
7. Knitting
I discovered a pattern for these 'someday' cute snowmen--
so have been busy knitting up these 'bodies' for next Christmas for gifts--
found I can get '12' from one skein of my cotton baby yarn--
8. Reading--
I have actually read 9 books since I got in this apartment--
and this one will be 10 by the days end!!
9. Photography
the view from my window--
I have not done well with taking photos since the move--
so need to get back to doing it more often--
10. Computer-
Of course I am on here daily--reading--
and without the 'Inchy" project--
I will have to think of more to post about
11. Friends and Family--
I did talk to a couple friends yesterday and to my son--
and I did not get to do 12
it was baking and I had planned to bake corn bread for dinner with my son--
but it seems that after years of no colds or the flu--
it has got me--so we had to cancel dinner--
and I am now waiting on a delivery of meds--which I am not happy about--
but one has to do what one has to do--as the doctor told me--
so I will be a good girl and go for it--!!!
Ok--need to get back to taking down the Christmas tree and packing things
away--as lots of projects are calling my name---
STAY WELL EVERYONE-- this 'flu' is not fun at all--
luv, di

(((Di))) So sorry to hear you have the flu. I hope it goes away soon, and I forgot to mention yesterday about how sorry I am you missed dinner with your son. Especially since it was a holiday dinner!
I love all your projects! I wish I had more time and could spend more time sewing. Oh well.
HUGS!!!
That's a pretty ambitious list for the first day of 2020. Those knitted snow guys are really cute. Hope you are starting to feel better. I'm still recovering from the respiratory crude I caught right before Christmas. It's no fun to not feel well. Have a great weekend.
I know this is an older post, but I hope you're feeling better by now. DH and I were both sick for Christmas....
