Amazingly I decided to take my own advice about finishing projects, namely those UFO’s all over the house.
I’m going to work on one at a time, stitching two needles of thread each day until it’s done. I’ve got the first two planned out. On Winter Stars, the current UFO, I only have three corners, two sides of the outer border and the binding to do. I’m working on that first and started the third side today. I’m hoping I’ll have it done within two weeks.
The it will be on to finish my version of the abstract cross stitch. I really love the way it looks but there are so many things cal,ling my attention.
For the project after that, you guys can help me choose. Do I do:
- the shepherd with a lamb from this needlepoint nativity
- the halloween license plate
- the foreground of the game needlepoint mini-sock
- the mod sampler
- the Painted Pony Botswana angel (994AR, on left about halfway down page)
I have ranked them from least to most to do. Leave a comment to tell me which you’d do next.

Hi Janet. I’m smitten with mini socks and I’d love to see how yours turns out. Happy New Year!
Janet,
Personally, I think you should do them in the order of least to most to finish them. Then you will see progress of finishing them. However, you can still put in a few stitches a day on the one or ones that need the most work so that you will make some progress on them while finishing up the ones that just need a little done to them.
I’d do the shepherd from the needlepoint nativity. You will be glad next Christmas, and it looks like a lovely set.
You mentioned the needlework shop in Monterey. I haven’t been in there yet, but will check it out soon.
Happy and peaceful 2010!

Well, if the Shepherd just needs a little time, do that first. The Botswana angel is a knockout, so whatever you pick next, do a few stitches on her every day. In the end, I would say, do what feels comfortable for you.
Happy New Year!
