A New Year, A Resolution to Start Blogging

I've resisted the blogging bug for a few years now, but with the 2011 Stitching Challenge I decided this would be the easiest way to keep updated on my stitching.  The Stitching Challenge started out as a challenge to start fifteen new cross stitch projects -- one each day from Janaury 1st through January 15th.  I wanted to do this but felt a bit hesitant to do that considering all of the WIPs (Works in Progress) and UFOs (Unfinished Objects) that I have in my stash.  So, I modified the challenge just a bit.  OK, I did start a new project each day from January 1st through 15th, but for the 16th through the 30th, I will be adding a WIP or UFO to my stitching rotation.

My blog will not be limited to cross stitching updates, but might include other things I am interested in or that I am doing, such as:  family updates (we do have a new grandbaby arriving in March, which will bring us up to four grandbabies); quilting, crocheting, reading and anything else I can come up with.

I'll be back soon to update with pictures of my cross stitching so far this year.

Hopefully you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I hope I enjoy doing it.

Love in Stitches,

Coleen

  4. Meari, Terri, Katie and Debra -- Thanks. I just thought this would be the easiest was to keep everyone updated on my stitching and other things. Now I just need to figure out how to become a follower of other people's blogs and how to start a list (on the side) of my finished projects and also a list of the books I have read this year and I'm sure there are other things I will add along the way, lol.
