Sometimes I think I am super organized and other times I realize I am not at all organized. As today is January 10, it's time to pull the storage containers from the closets and git er done! One of the reasons, I have procrastinated is because one of my goals for 2015 is downsizing. As I have been taking down the Christmas decorations, I have been sorting and making decisions about which decorations will stay and which will be enjoying Christmas in someone else's home.
Am also sorting through needlework charts and deciding which designs I want to stitch for Christmas 2015. All these decisions have made my pea brain hurt! To date I have chosen Merry Christmas by La D Da, Merry Christmas by Threadwork Primitives and Jenny Bean Christmas ornament 2010 by Shakespear's Peddler. Merry Christmas by La D Da is in the 2009 Just Cross Stitch ornament issue. Famous last Betty words: the designs are simple and should not take long to stitch. One of my yearly goals is to add at least one new stitched ornament to my tree. (Some years I make the goal, other years like 2014, I miserably fail).
Since Valentine's Day is just a few short days/weeks away, I am once again replacing the Christmas decorations with Valentine's decorations. Another goal is to stitch the freebie design by Primitive Hare called Love Never Fails. Again, such a simple design with powerful words and meaning. Will make a great addition to my dough bowl of smalls.
It's really difficult to decide what to send on somewhere else. That's what I've been trying to do, too. Red is such a cheerful color! I'm so glad it is around for awhile longer!
ReplyDeleteYou've been making lots of decisions. Love the stitchery from Primitive Hare. It will be perfect for Valentine's Day. I think I might have to download that one.
ReplyDeleteI am already stitching ornaments for 2015. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, downsizing! I need to do that too. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLove the Penny Rug. I also want to stitch Love Never Fails...shold get it and get it started because before we know it, February will be here.
ReplyDeleteI do love the penny rug. I have not made one of those but I love them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your 2015 goals, the penny rug is lovely
ReplyDeleteLove the heart mat and good luck with your goals. Janice
ReplyDeleteOH - I have a couple of cute V-day charts I bought last year and never even opened up. Now is the time but rug camp starts Friday so I am all about the wool life right now. I am also vowing to do ornaments for 2015. So much to do - so little time. Cheers Mel
ReplyDeleteWait! We're supposed to be organized???? What??? lol I wish you well in the organizing/downsizing front -- let me know if you find the secret to doing it without your head hurting. And here's to 2015 letting you have that new ornie on the tree -- though if you don't we will all know it's no doubt for a good reason. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Wool Valentine piece!
ReplyDeleteThe stitchery Love Pillow is wonderful too.
Looking forward to seeing what project you end up choosing for Christmas 2015.
Beautiful Valentine finish!
ReplyDeleteI think you've made some lovely decisions. It's fun to put out some joyful red and white for Valentine's Day. It take away the "blah's" of the happy colors of christmas being packed away. Can't wait to see your "stitching of choice" for 2015.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great plans organized. I love having a few things for Valentine's Day.
