This year I had very few goals:- finish-finish two projects a month: My original intent was to finish-finish things that were in the pile rather than new things. And I did mean *I* would do them, but I am going to count everything that got finished. I finished 23 pieces--10 of them to give away. Thirteen came out of the finishing pile and 10 were new stitches. I think I should be more specific next year.
- hang Toy Gatherer in my house this Christmas: It was so. (There it is hanging where the mola usually goes.)
- stitch a lot of things for myself: 13 of 29, I don't think that was more than usual.

Most of these were small pieces, but Toy Gatherer, which I can't stop yammering about, feels like a majestic triumph. Now to think about what I hope to accomplish in 2009...

Wow! Way to go! Toy Gatherer isn't even on my radar screen, but he's in my stash. Wool Gatherer is on my list to finish because Herb Gatherer has been waiting many years for him to join her on my wall. Thanks for more inspiration!
Wow - you definitely got a lot done in 2008! And Toy Gatherer given a place of honor on the wall - fantastic! Congrats on that last finish of the year too - it's a cute one!
Wow, that's a lot of finishes! Love Curly Q Ewe - such pretty colors.
