Making New Year's Resolutions is a long tradition. This year, why not make some stitching resolutions? Then, take a few moments and share what you resolve with us. Share Stitchy Resolutions

Stitching Resolution

My resolution is to finish 1 cross-stitch project per month for a total of 12 projects. I have had the same resolution for the past 2 years and have met my goal each year. I have two projects finished so far this year.

New Year's Resolutions

This year I have decided to make monthly goals. They aren't so overwhelming as planning for the whole year is for me. So, for January I have made the goal of stitching for a minimum of one hour each week. I have certain television shows that I watch weekly so stitching during them will help me meet this goal and will allow me to complete gifts well-ahead of the "gotta stitch quick 'cause the birthday, etc., is next week" crunch that I always find myself in, and will help me not feel that I'm wasting valuable time watching TV. Good luck to everyone in meeting their stitching resolutions!

My Stitching resolutions

1. Stitch consistently, like stitch a certain time each week. 2. Start in good time if I have a project, and not keep putting it off. 3. Keep my stash/supplies ajour.

I will not beat myself up if my stitching lays untouched for a period of time. Life happens.

Hogwarts School

I have made a resolution to complete Harry Potter's school 'Hogwarts' from a free pattern on line at http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/crafts located under Crafts. After completing Hogwarts, I'm planning to stitch Dumbledore (Richard Harris). The designs by Linda Parlier are very good.

Do No Harm

"Do No Harm" is a Wiccan tenet, not so much a New Year's resolution but more of an everyday code to live by. Stitching the words themselves is affirming.
