Ready or not, it's soon going to be 2026! I'm ready. I'm always happy for a new year to begin. First, I love starting a new journal with fresh, crispy pages, even though I know it won't be long before a corner will have little teeth marks in it, a page or two will be hanging loose. I never get too concerned about the condition of my journal because no matter how many not so great things happen in a year, it always seems like merely a few months have passed since we had Christmas and New Year's and then . . it's time to do it again. Time passes too quickly!
Of course I have things I want to do/change during the year. There's a long list of the typical things - lose weight, be more organized, exercise more, etc.
Here are some of the stitchy things I'm going to seriously try to work on this year.
- Buy less. As far as cross stitching supplies, my goal is to buy nothing unless it's something I want to start NOW (no more collecting .. just because!). If there's a stitch along I want to join, or a challenge I want to participate in, I may buy a chart but I am feeling like I won't buy much at all. As far as floss, I will buy what I need - shouldn't be much. As far as linen, I'm in two clubs. In each of those, I get one fat quarter per month (or is it per quarter??
- Convert! I would like to do my own conversion on all the charts I stitch this year. No called for colors on new starts. Of course, these can only be new starts because I can't change floss midstream on WIPS. But, I can only use floss I have in my stash.
- WIPS. Oh, how I need to finish some WIPS. I'm not going to set any rules about how many WIPS I have to finish before I can start something new but this needs to happen!
- More Christmas! I want to have a lot more Christmas ornaments made for Christmas, 2026 - Prairie Schooler specifically!
