BACK TO THE GRIND..AND DAY 1 OF WHAT I WANT TO STITCH/FINISH...

Good chilly morning everyone!!
Back to the grind today...kids have gone back to school.....new year has begun......

I was making a mental note of what I want to finish stitching and what I want to stitch in 2011. This year I did not (as many of you on other blogs as well) start something new on January 1. I have so many beautiful charts in my stash that I want to stitch, and some of those I have as WIP's, so I will concentrate on those.....this is just day 1 of what I want to show you that I will be working on!!
First up...Mary Margaret by Carriage House Samplings....I picked this up again on the weekend...I really do love this design. In the heart on the tree I stitched the initials of my three children, rather than M M.....and I think it's a nice personal touch. I want to get this finished in 2011.
The Queen's Crowns, by Plum Street Samplers...I love this design too! I realized when I was stitching this that I could substitute my last name for Gloriana without too much trouble......so that's what I'm doing....again, I want to finish this design in 2011.

From the Deep, by Plum Street Samplers...I am almost done this design, and plan on hanging it in the master bath.......one of these days in 2011. So this is just a peek of what I have started, and what I want to finish in 2011!! Stay tuned for more in another post....
Have a great day...
