Hope everyone had a good Christmas . Ours was lovely . We had the day at home and visited family before hand as hubby was back to work Boxing Day . It does feel like Christmas was cut short and I am ready to tale down the decs , but will leave it until next week when the kids are back at school .
The kids best Christmas presents were Minecraft for the X-box, google game play cards so they could put Minecraft on their tablets , and slush cups ,lol.
I got no stitchy stash for Christmas , but I got money so will put that towards crafty stuff. Hoping to get one of my finishes framed with some of the money, I have been doing more charity stitching than anything else for the last few years and I got to thinking that maybe it's because I have finishes lying around and at least my squares are used and appreciated. Bearing this in mind, my plan for this year is to do more personal stitching. I don't do resolutions , but I do have "plans" ,lol. I will still stitch for Love Quilts , but will be working on a lot more of my own projects.
So , no new year start for me , instead I plan on finishing. I have two small (but big) projects on the go .
This one is for my daughter.
and this one is a LQ a/c square.
Both were started in October , but put away while I did the HAED challenge in November.
I also have my two OFOs,
Christmas Recipe
and Three Little Maids
I will finish these early this year , as I want some new starts and I've promised myself no new starts until these are finished.
And there is Rosita to work on .
Some of my Christmas money is already gone as I placed an order for fabric and threads to kit up these .
Play With Me
and TT A Pale Comparison.
Picked this up from a charity shop on Tuesday when I took the kids out to spend their money and book tokens. I think I have it , but not sure and can't find it , so also plan to sort out my stash this year ,lol .
Last years' orts, all squished in the jar
and spread out a bit.
And my new ort jar all ready to be filled through out the year .
Thanks for dropping by , and a Happy New Year to you all.

Great plans for 2016 - Happy New Year!
happy new year. blessings to you and your family.
Great planning for this year, Cath. One point of my plans is also to do more finish-finishing instead of letting the stitched pieces disappear in a drawer. We'll see how that goes.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year. Good luck with you stitchy plans for 2016. You are an inspiration to a lot of stitchers if you have the determination to finish some projects before starting anymore. What a good girl!!! :)
Sounds like a lovely Christmas.
All of your projects are beautiful.
