Happy New Year
I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas. Sorry to have been absent for so long. A combination of the Christmas holidays and a teething boy have meant that I haven't had the brain capacity for blogging or anything else if comes down to it.
So while I've not been able to stitch I've been considering what I'd like to acheive with my hobbies this year obviously starting with finding some time for them! I've been reading everyone's plans for the Crazy 15 Challenge and while it sounds very tempting I know that even attempting it would be setting myself up for failure given the uncertain nature of my stitching time. So what I have decided to do is to adapt it to address my piles of completed but 'unfinished' stitching and I am going to challenge myself to 'finish' 15 things, 12 small pieces (ornamets, pinkeeps etc) and three larger ones. I think that aiming to finish at least one small piece a month should be doable.
The other challenge I'm going to set myself this year is to read at least 36 books. I managed 24 in 2010 and as my to-read pile has been growing exponetially thanks to the 5(!) charity shops on my village Main Street. So I'd love to make myself find more time to read.
I'll finish by showing where I'm up to on Anniversary Roses

I think it's fun to set goals at the beginning of a New Year. Have lots of fun achieving yours, and Anniversary Roses is a beautiful piece!
Lauren's sampler is just beautiful, as are her other projects which I am in the process of trying to finish:)
