I think I'm going to have to start recording my new starts in my paper diary because of the whole lack of blogging. Projects I've
started are piling up, and I can't remember which day I started
which. Also I just pulled out the four projects I have in my bag, thought
to myself "Tuesday Drawn Threads, Wednesday Love Bird, Thursday Mill Hill,
and Friday Vermont" and wheeled myself back over to the computer and could
only remember that I started the Drawn Thread on Tuesday. I have got to work on
my memory. I used to have a dazzling one. On Tuesday, I started Drawn Thread's Four
Fat Friends freebie. I think I may have kitted this up for some of my stitching
buddies, who I hope don't think I just called them fat! Anyway, I have had this
kitted up for ages and have finally started it. I am stitching with the
called-for colors on a random piece of fabric.
On Wednesday, I had a meeting that ran much longer than I expected, and then I had to walk the
dog. I was literally sitting on the edge of my bed putting in a few stitches
before I turned in for the night. You can see why I am starting to find the
pace a little hectic. And this is even after I prepared all my kits last month!
I fell in love with this bird when I saw the wool version pinned on Pinterest.
I spent a while tracking it down and even longer just waiting for the right
time to start it. This project is being stitched with the suggested colors and
fabric.

I've stitch Love Bird, it's such a beautiful finish.
Don't stress out Nikki. Start them when you can. Love both your new starts. The bird is really going to be pretty.

I've got Love Bird set out to stitch...some day...
I have my diary I'm writing in each day, the daily photo, a master list of each design I'm annotating, a FB album and the blog to try keep track of each day. I have two boxes, one for unstarted and the other for the started pieces. Each piece lives on the sofa until it is photographed which keeps them in order! Then it moves into the started box.
Love the fat Cardinal.
I get what you mean about forgetting to blog things. I do that all the time. I think it's great that you've done as many posts as you have. x
Well done on keeping up with the start a day challenge for January! You've chosen some lovely charts!!
I've just kitted up Love Bird and will be starting it sometime soon. You have excellent taste in charts!
I still say I don't have any idea how you are managing this! Hectic pace? I'd be passed out from the stress of it! LOL.
I marvel at the courage it takes to start 40 new projects in one month. Oh, the optimism of youth. And here I am, trying for two years to simply finish up less than a dozen old class projects, dating from 2006 to the present.
