Happy New Year and my stitching plans for 2014

Happy New Year everyone.
I am thinking of my stitching plans for 2014.
I have ....WIP Haberdashers, Cut thru Bothy Threads ...

this is it in its current form after 6 weeks of stitching


also have in my stash ......The wedding Cut thru......

I 

I cant wait to start that one, as I have 2 weddings this year to attend...

I also have Princess Palace Cut thru

My latest kit from Bothy Threads... a christmas present to myself..

and I am doing a bookmark

Also I am doing a Gothic Fairy from Heaven and earth designs...cant find a picture at present but will do.So that is 6 kits I am doing and that means a kit a day stitching  with one day off for a rest..of course i shan't be stitching all the time, but just wanted to put in print my plans to stitch for this year. 

What are your plans...??

Meanwhile an update, I have been ill since xmas eve, with a nasty cough so lets hope it disappears as we go into the new year.Wasn't the firework display along the River Thames amazing... my daughter Emma was there...

We have had a very quiet Xmas with me feeling unwell, but now the decorations are down and away and time to start afresh. 2013 wasnt a particulary good year for me so I am optimistic this new year will be much better...

merry christmas everyone..

So the presents are wrapped  and everything is ready for Christmas day, I have a shocking cold and cough and am not well again,(blood sugars affected again).but may I wish everyone a happy christmas and soon it will be another creative new year and I shall be returning to My cut thru cross stitch, crochet and I think a spot of calligraphy, zentangle, and jewellery making come the new year.....

another present finished ..

Bobble blanket...

Another' ta- da' moment .... I finally finished my bobble blanket  I have been making...
was very easy to make bobbles are 5 trebles  per bobble....I reckon there is 150 'stripes' to the blanket and each one takes approx an hour to do. For warmth this is a very good blanket to make, its toasty!
All made in double knit and has taken me 4 months to do to the finish.Of course have been working on some other projects as well inbetween. this is a xmas present....
got 2 more things to do before xmas and then I shall be back working on the cut thru and doing some jewellery making again...
