This year I'm going to try to make it more realistic - My goals are more about how I approach my stitching rather than what I am going to actually achieve.Non stitching
- Take my long service leave - 3 months off work!! Have requested March through to May this year - waiting for news from my boss.
- Become a WIP killer and finish off at least one of my current long term Works in Progress (the list is to the right).
- Resist any new Chatelaine designs (one exception - any "Designing Ladies" release).
- Continue to participate in Exchanges at the SBEBB and Robin's Nest.
- Participate in the Ornament stitchalong blog at least 6 months out of 12 this year.

Joel and I went out to his sister's place last night for New Years Eve. We took two bottles of Champagne and we managed to polish off 3 bottles together, playing cards (Five-Hundred), singing along to Crowded House CDs and talking (and talking and talking). I had a wonderful time - they are lovely company. We stayed the night and had breakfast at their new local McDonalds this morning. Needless to say we all felt a bit rough this morning, of course the kids were full of beans!
When we got home, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Martina had uploaded the files and released the passwords for my current online projects (Illuminated Medieval Sampler, Persian Iris Garden and Japanese Octagon Box). The Japanese Octagon Box part is the box lid and I love it!! I made a little start on it this afternoon. In the center of the lid there are 4 little over-one goldfish. I don't know how long it will take me to stitch it up but I'll keep you informed.
I return to work tomorrow, I don't feel ready yet!
*The picture of Felix playing in my wardrobe is from the week before Christmas, honestly, he is the cutest cat sometimes.*

Happy New Year, Cathy! And happy stitching today :) I don't feel like going back to work either! :)
You have the most reasonable goals list I've read so far. I can't believe all the Chatelaine's you have in progress, but you keep going girl :-)
Wow, three months off! You should get a lot of stitching done. Good luck with WIP killing.
Hope you get your leave Cathy! :) We're all going for WIP killings this year it seems. Hope you get some done - I bet you'll finish the Japanese Box :)
The secret to attaining your goals is to keep them simple. Yours are great & you should have no problem with them! :)
Good luck with your goals! My one goal is to get my WIP's finished.
Felix is a cutie!! Happy New Year's!
Your goals sound so reasonable. I bet you do well in 2007! Felix is a cutie. Happy New Year!
Hi Cathy! Happy New Year to you and Joel. A finish just about every two weeks is great. You stitched some really lovely things-can't wait to see what your nimble needles put out this year.
I love Felix photos-too cute.
great goals list, i t looks achievable to me ..
goodluck on the leave, you could easily knock off a few Chatelaines and something else ( like Winter ACEo ) in that time the way you stitch
