2012 Goals

Oh boy (notice the pun!), this year is going to prove tricky ;o) With a new little one on the way, I'm not sure how much time I'll have for stitching but I'm going to give it an honest go. I've given this much thought and this is what I've come up with -

• Noah & The Gang by Sue Hillis (for Junior) ~ 0/1
• one UFO ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
• 6 Fat Men by Lizzie Kate ~ 0/1
• one monthly SAL project (Halloween Rules by Lizzie Kate) ~ 0/1
• twelve ornament sized projects (one for each month of the year) ~ 10/12

I 'do' think it's 'doable' but we'll see how cooperative Junior will be ;o)

2011 Goals

With a new year come new stitching goals. I've been thinking about these for about the past month now. It really is serious business you know! LOL! I'm going to tweak things a little bit this time around since I did not meet my 2010 goals :o( So here is my final list -

• two WIP/UFOs (one will definitely be Sabrina) ~ 2/2 DONE!!!!
  
• one monthly SAL project (Christmas Rules by Lizzie Kate) ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
  
• one medium project (hopefully Gentleman Quaker or Pumpkin Cottage) ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
  
• one small project (this would include designs by Bent Creek, HIH, LK, etc.) ~ 1/1 +1 DONE!!!!
  
• one small SAL project (Chilly from Snowman Trio by Stitchy Kitty with Jenn) ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
  
• twelve ornament sized projects (one for each month of the year and hopefully they will not only be completed but finished as well) ~ 12/12 +1 DONE!!!!
  

I think I'm comfortable with this. We'll see how it goes...

2010 Goals

I've decided to continue on with my goal method because it seems to suit me much better. Again, I have changed the numbers around so we'll see how well I can do in my third year using this method :o)

This is what I would like to accomplish in 2010 -

• one large project (this will either be a L&L or a Mirabilia design) ~ 0/1
• two medium projects (Gentleman Quaker will be one and the other will be determined later on) ~ 1/2
• two small projects (this would include designs by Bent Creek, HIH, LK, etc.) ~ 2/2 DONE!!!!
  
• twelve ornament size projects (one for each month of the year) ~ 12/12 plus 8 extra DONE!!!!
  

Doable? Possibly. Whether it is or not, I'm willing to give it a shot!

2009 Goals

Well, it seems that I did so well with my 2008 goals that I've decided to use the same method this year :o) The only thing I'm going to change are the number of projects because I know this will be a busy year for us and my stitching time will be cut short.

This is what I would like to accomplish in 2009 -

• one large project (I have this narrowed down to a Lanarte or a L&L design) ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
• one medium project (I've already started on one so hopefully I'll finish it) ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
  
• two small projects (this would include patterns by Bent Creek, HIH, LK, etc.) ~ 2/2 DONE!!!!
• five ornament size projects (this would include anything in the JCS ornament issues and patterns of similar size) ~ 5/5 DONE!!!!
  

I've narrowed it down a bit from last year so we'll see how well I do this year :o)

2008 Goals

Well, it seems I did not do so well with my list of goals for 2007 :oS Basically I completed 7 out of the 31 projects that I listed. That's 23%. Last year it was 55%! So...this year I have decided to do things differently. Instead of listing the 'actual' projects that I want to stitch, I'm breaking things down into four categories - large, medium, small and ornament size.

This is what I would like to accomplish for 2008 -

• one large project (this would include L&L, Mirabilia, Lanarte, etc.) ~ 1/1 DONE!!!!
• three medium projects (this would include some LHN, Sam Sarah Designs, Imaginating, etc.) ~ 2/3 done
• four small projects (this would include Bent Creek, HIH, Dragon Dreams, etc.) ~ 4/4 DONE!!!!
• five ornament size projects (this would include anything from the JCS Ornament Issues, LK, San Man Originals, etc.) ~ 5/5 DONE!!!!

I'm thinking this will be more manageable and achievable ;o)

2007 Goals

Here are my stitching goals for 2007. Yes, it's quite a list but since I'm up for the 50 Project Challenge, I'll need lots to keep me going ;o) Last year I managed to complete six out of eleven projects that were on my goal list. Let's see if I can do better this year :o)
