December Progress, January Goals

Happy New Year blogging buddies!  I spent the day before New Year's Eve kitting up all the projects I want to start in 2013. I made another trip to Welcome Stitchery to pick up some odds and ends  that I needed and to order the things they were out of stock on, so that I can just pick up a project bag and start once the mood strikes me.  I have a long list that is waiting to be started.  I want to start at least 15 (but hopefully more) of them in the month of January and make sure they are finished by the end of he year. 

Finishing wise, there was lots of progress this year.  Lots of things got framed and finished.  I guess I still need to post pictures of some of them.  I do still have 12 teacups and 12 teapots that need to be framed, but I just have to order the frames and do it!  More "finishing" is planned for 2013, mostly ornaments.

December wasn't too bad stitching wise, (5 finishes) only 41.5 hours, but with Christmas and family obligations, it's not bad.  The year was pretty good, more stitching time than most years, 854.75 hours.  93 finishes for the year.  I did also manage to get the Work in Slow Progress list down to 5 (from 13!)  I hope to finish at least 3 from that list in the coming year.
