I hope 2020 is a fabulous year for all of you and that it is a great start to an amazing decade!
The last decade had a few blips in the road, but there were a lot of positives. Discovering crazy quilting and hand embroidery was definitely one of the biggest highlights. And I treasure all of the friendships I have made through our blogging community.
This year, I am trying to keep my goals simple and only participate in challenges that move me closer to those goals.
Health Goals:
- Track the miles I run throughout the year.
- Participate in at least 2 races.
Cross-Stitch Goals:
- Finish Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED) Storykeep Effects of Caffeine.
- Add at least 300 stitches/month to my charting Creations Fractal White Tiger.
- Finish a row of pages on my HAED Twilight Duel.
Challenges & Commitments:
- Share Fractal White Tiger progress on the Stitchy Start Blog monthly.
- Continue sharing cross-stitch progress every 3rd Sunday with the Stitch Along (SAL) hosted by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea. (Our next update is January 5th.)
- January 1 - April 9: 100 Days of HAED Challenge to add 30 stitches to one project (SK Effects of Caffeine) every day. (This is organized by Porsche in the Stitchtalk HAED Challenges Facebook Group.)
- Make progress on an unfinished object (UFO) each month through the American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge. (Most projects on my list are the same as last year.)
- Share a post on the 1 X-mas Item a Month blog every month. (I plan to share progress on my Winter/Christmas wall quilt - which is also #9 on my UFO Challenge list this year.) If you are interested in joining, details are here.
This Month:
UFO Challenge - #2 was selected for January. So, my goal is to finally finish this crazy quilted fabric postcard Valentine.
1 X-mas Item a Month - Add more snowflakes to my Winter/Christmas wall quilt.
We shall see how I do with my goals this month. Honestly, I will be happy with any progress at all. Life is busy and it is short. Spending time with loved ones is always a priority.
I wish you and yours an amazing 2020!
Thank you for visiting.

Happy New Year
You are so organised with your planning and progress on your projects. It is nice to see how the cross stitch embroideries grow.
Keep up the good work.
Renee, I am sincerely amazed at the amount of stitches you manage! I wish you the very best in reaching your goals for 2020! I'll enjoy watching your progress!
I know you can do it too. Enjoy 2020 and I will keep lurking.
Good luck with your goals! I'll be here cheering you along the way.
Hello Renee and your goals are wonderful. You are far more organized than I ever am. I shall let my New Year 2020 Vision word guide me...CLARITY. This will be such a wonderful year of Creative Bliss. Blessings Dear...<3
Happy New Year Renee! I hope 2020 is a great year for you and I wish you lots of success with all your beautiful projects! Hugs Christine xx
All the very best for 2020, Renee.
I haven't been a good Follower during 2019 but hope to catch up with your work this year. I have missed watching the cross stitches grow.
Family first is a good motto. Of course, at least one of those projects is FOR family, so they might let you have enough time for 100 stitches ... maybe. =) Best of luck with your UFO list!
You have some great goals and I'm sure you will make progress on every one of them. Making time for family is the best goal of all!
