25 Thimble Creek Ornament (1 of 4)
Some things are new, most were on the last 25 item list. This list has a fairly even mix of sized stuff. Not all are huge projects, there are quite a few small ones. I think this will work much better and I'll feel a larger sense of accomplishment.
Not that the challenge hasn't accomplished something. I have spent very little of family money on my habit. Most of my latest acquisitions have been through gifts of money. I have spent some, but not nearly as much as previous years. Keeping a wish list has helped a lot!. If I see something I want, instead of Igor'ing it, I just add it to my wish list. Its fairly large after a year. A few I still even want (Marion the Librarian by La-D-Da comes prominently to mind for some reason =)). There were a couple of notables that got Igor'ed. One of them was when I saw a chart that would be perfect for a limited edition overdye fiber sitting in my stash (purchased for that very reason! It was cool. I'll find something for it someday.) Its even in the above list. And the other is And They Sinned. Now I'm not too into the biblical verse thing, but if you take a look at the pic, its just really freaking beautiful...and really fucking big. It did not get added to the list, although I will add it into my stitching rotation. (The scary thought? A companion piece is in the works....oy.)
So, after I finish this list, I'll probably go shopping a bit, but I really want to focus on cleaning out my stash and using the stuff I've got. I've got a TON of charts in my files, books, and an amazing amount of magazines. Should I ever get some time (HA!) I'll weed the magazines. I want to scan them and either discard them or bind them. Although I could just spend that organizing time stitching....hrmmm.
