Happy New Year Stunners!!!
It's that time of the year. To review your successes and failures. Unfortunately I didn't have an awesome year in stitches with only 10 page finishes and no full finishes. But since joining the Ultimate Cross Stitch group on Facebook I'm improving as it really gets you stitching.
I love the beginning of the year as it's a reset and time to set some new goals.
This year I've decided to set a goal that is a little different to what I normally do. Instead of complete specific wips I will aim to stitch 100,000 - 200,000 stitches and to stick to my schedule/rotation that I have devised. It would work much better for me to go by stitch count as I jump around so much with my wips...hence the nil finishes...*blush*
So without further ado here is my year in pictures.
First up are my wips.

ReplyDeleteThey are all Stunning Alicia! You have made some great progress during the past year! Afterglow is so colorful and beautiful! I look forward to seeing your 2018 progress! Happy New Year Stunner!
ReplyDeleteYou have made great progress on all these projects. We all know these take a huge amount of work before a finish can be made!!! Good luck with your goals and looking forward to reading your blog again. Just keep stitching!!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Alicia! I love all your projects, they're so colourful, but my absolute favourite is the Prince one. I love that you started with his smile, and the purple swirly fabric just does it for me every time. Do you listen to his music when you stitch it?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your 2018 goals, I will enjoy cheering you on!
10 page finishes is like 10 real finishes for anyone else LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen did you last actually finish a piece? Hahaha.
Seriously, you have some gorgeous projects and I am glad to see that you've started some in the middle so we get interesting things to look at straightaway.
Wow Alicia. Awesome projects. I would be lucky to finish them in ten years. Looking forward to seeing your progress on them this year.
