Christmas is always a small family thing for us, since all the relatives are outside the immediate area, so its a good break and allows time for me to organise sewing things and actually get some sewing done.
So I started (late November) with a To Do list - not all sewing - and it wasn't everything I hoped to do.
As is the way with lists - things got changed - some got done - some didn't.
This is the list now:
Its an on-going thing so I'll keep it for a bit.
One thing that is nearly finished is my Christmas Wishes - a free project on Anni Down;'s blog and the starter project for the 2015 Stitch-a-Long.
I am still deliberating over the dangly bits on the original pattern - maybe some beads or maybe nothing. It will become a small wall hanging with some pink Anni Christmas fabric around it. (Soon)
The main project for the SAL is Nature's Journey by Anni. I think Chookyblue chose this so that no-one who wanted to play along would have ready started - the pattern has only just been released... I hope I have my copy by next weekend (preferably Thursday as I have a free day)....I'm itching to cut! and sew!!
I also made a lot of progress on my North Pole Quilt - all the house blocks are now assembled, so night times can be some stitching. Normally during the week its 8.30 or so before I can get into my sewing and it gets too late to be selecting fabrics and messing around.
And I have almost finished my Mouse Pin Cushion . . more on that later.
Hoping everyone has had a good start to 2015, that your mojo stays where it should, and the year is full of happy things for everyone . . .
