Angel finished

So, I have finished the angel, now I just have to locate the little box where I keep my charms, so that I can put the snowflake around the sheep's neck...then I need to do the finishing touches so that it is ready to be sent closer to Christmas:)

I did ust Fuzzy Stuff for the sheep, so it looks kinda fluffy:) It was really difficult as the thread is so thick and fluffy, but I managed eventually. Probably not perfect, but very cute:)

Hope to be able to show my finished product tomorrow evening...

Vicki's list

Short term jobs
1. Sort out my filing - several boxes and a collapsing pile on my desk do not constitute a filing system.
2. Do my accounts - I usually file at the last minute, this time I want to get them done earlier.
3. Paper and paint the toilet walls - I'm fed up with bare plaster.
4. Get another design in a magazine - I'm trying to break into the UK magazines and at the same time hopefully get more into the Australian Publication 'Creative Embroidery and Cross Stitch'
5. Tidy my bedroom - This room doesn't get the attention it deserves. 'Public' rooms get all the attention and as it doubles as an office it has suffered, it's time has come!
6. Build a new back gate - It just needs doing.

Medium term jobs
1. Finish the kitchen - I've done a lot of it but have ground to a halt. I need to fit the sink unit, 2 more bits of worktop, build a cupboard round the electricity meter, tile and fit a blind.
2. Finish a DVD project - I am working on a DVD for my business and really must get going on it quickly.
3. Get a book published - This could be a tricky one as getting published is not an easy project but I have to try. I am working on a complete Hardanger course around a perpetual calendar project/ set of 12 designs.

Long term job
Swap my daughter from the small bedroom to the larger spare room. Whilst this doesn't seem like a big task, it really is! The spare room is full of my work supplies and (as we don't have a useable attic) has been used for other storage. I have to pack up the room and move it to storage, repair the plaster, paper and paint, fit units and shelves and build a wardrobe/cupboard into the alcove. I can then move her in but the job doesn't end there. I have to put up shelves in the spare room and build a set of cupboards that are purpose designed to hold my work supplies so that when it is all done I have a useable spare room (her old room) that will be suitable for guests and not a room full of boxes that is impossible to get into.

Ylva's list

Short term goals

1. I want to finish my Heavygoing Grizzly for my nephew - only have the background left to do.

2. I want to do a biscornu as they look so much fun to do.

3. I want to do a little pincushion - embroider a nice pattern and attach to a tiny little pot....

4. I need to finish organising my room - I have sooo much stuff.... cardmaking, stamping, embroidery, sewing, computers, cross stitch.....

5. I want to make a list of all project I want to do - some I have started on and some I am eager to start on.

6. I want to make a patchwork cushion for my mother.

Medium term goals

1. I want to finish the hardanger calendar partwork Vicki has created - It is gorgeous and I cannot wait until I can hang it on the wall.

2. I want to finish my Nefertiti cross stitch picture - I have Tutankhamun already framed on the wall and he is looking a bit lonely.

3. I want to make a patchwork quilt for my bed.

Long term goal

I need to lose weight - I need to lose a lot of weight, but I will put this in stages of 10 kilos......and celebrate massively when I have reached 50 kilos. Anything more than that is a bonus.
