- Find a job.
- Crazy January Challenge. I have already had to make a substitution: I need to think about the fabric for Christian's Stocking. (I used Adam Originals pre-made stockings for the first five--but what should I do for the new one now that those stockings are unavailable?) I will be doing Little by Little's Star Light, Star Bright instead.
- Work on the marquoir--finish one page (of the 22 remaining) each month. I need to increase this goal in order to make better progress.
- Finish-finish one project a month.
- Complete one quarter of my WIPs (see below)--or four.
- Learn to crochet.
- Become proficient in Photoshop.
The WIPs List:
- Moss Creek, Elizabethan Rose
- Heart in Hand, Monthly Mania (September)
- Heartland House, Tree of Life Window
- Linda Jary, Majestic Rooster
- Nutmeg Needle, Treasured Tulips
- Liz Turner Diehl, 16th Century Knot Garden
- Bent Creek, Snowman Stocking
- Watercolor Geranium
- Theresa Layman, Mermaid
- Mirabilia, Emerald Mermaid
- Corinne and Gigi, Marquoir bleu et rouge
- Dimensions, Santa kit
- Dimple's Designs, St. Basil's Cathedral
- Heart's Content, Merry and Bright
- Hardanger Napkin Rings
Happy New Year, everyone.
All best for a happy, healthy, stitchy 2011.
See you soon with the first of my Crazy January projects.

Hi - I've been reading your blog for some time now, but have never commented before. But, please know how much I appreciate the enjoyment that you (and others) bring to my days by the wealth of fun, conversation, and sharing that takes place on needlework blogs.
I have had a question for a long time and I decided this morning to finally answer it: could you clarify what your marquior piece is? A picture or a link to an earlier post that describes it? I am that much more intrigued to hear about the description used by your stitching friends who have seen it each month.
Many thanks, Arlene in NJ
I would love to see you work on and post photos of your St. Basil. Mine is also a WIP of too many years.
Maybe we can spur each other on. It is sucha beautiful piece!
My new venture will attempting a blog. I'll let you know when it starts.
Jackie
Happy New Year!
I really like your list of 15 and look forward to your updates! Happy New Year Ms. Stitch Bitch - may you find your job and find stitchy bliss.
Wishing you all the best in 2011! I will be excited to watch your progress on your crazy list. :)
Arlene, If you click here you should be able to find all the posts I've labeled French marquoir. "Marquoir" is just French for sampler, and it's a biggie--33"x41" on 40 count fabric. It's a free pattern found online; you can find links to it in some of the earlier posts. But you do remind me that I need to keep posting photos of it, even if my progress is glacial. :) Thanks for reading!
Jackie, when you start your blog, I'll consider it. Right now St. Basil's is one of the projects that has the fewest stitches in it, and I seem to be motivated by 1) starting and 2) finishing. I fear it's destined to languish a little longer. :)
Happy New Year! Best of luck on the resolutions--the only one of mine I can probably keep is to stitch a lot. And fortunately, BF doesn't read my blog, or he'd require that I move "get a job" up to #1 spot instead of last spot.
Happy New Year! Best of luck on your goals and WIPs!
Happy New Year!!!! Great projects and goals too :-).
Wishing you all the best in 2011, Anna! May you achieve your goals and then some. :)
Have a great stitchy 2011!
I'm amused that you are starting the year by doubling your WIP list. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
I could probably help you with #6.
