After much thought and deliberation I've joined two challenges for the year. The first one is the YOTA challenge. You can learn about the YOTA challenge here: http://pulltheotherthread.blogspot.com/p/yota-year-of-acronyms.html
I'm thinking posting once a month (the first Saturday) a before and after shot of a WIP/UFO isn't too hard, I hope. Maybe this will help me whittle down that UFO bag. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
The other challenge is one heck of a DOOZY for me. It's a stitch from your stash challenge...and you only get a limited budget for stash each month. Holy Cow Batman! This one will be a hard one for me. You can find the details here: http://epicstitching.blogspot.com/2013/12/stitch-from-stash-2014-join-now.html
It's the beginning of the year and I'm already struggling with this one bad. See, I had this plan to purchase the last 4 LHN Sheep Virtue charts to complete the series. I was going to just place the big order for them and then I realized....I can't get them all at the same time. I'll only be able to get 2 of them or I'll go over my budget allowance for the month. Guess I'm going to have to get 2 in January and 2 in February. What's going to be even harder for me with this one is I'm really going to give it a shot with NOT buying any stash (except floss) after I get those sheep charts. Can you imagine the horror? An entire YEAR with no stash additions?! Can it be done? I'm going to give it a try and see how far I get. You all can get up off the floor now, I know you've fallen over laughing....
Happy Stitching!
I've joined the stitch from your stash group too. Yikes!!! I just know that this will be the year that all my favorite designers will create their most beautiful ever patterns. Lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck w/ your goals and here's hoping 2014 will be your happiest year ever! :)
Good luck to you Sharon! May this year bring us all good health, happiness and lots of stitching! :)
DeleteI just joined too. Good luck not buying any other stash. It will be hard but I will be trying not to spend my monthly budget either.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Vicky! Glad to have you join me. :) Good luck!
DeleteI think you can do it...just concentrate on what you have to stitch already, not what you want to stitch in the future!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn! I think it's gonna be a challenge but I'm up for it! :)
DeleteWelcome to YOTA. I'm really looking forward to seeing hiw everyine gets on with this. I'm hoping to get a finish ir two out of it :) I'm also joining in with the SFS as I really have to stop making new starts and get my stashing under control.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a year of stash busting and lots of finishes. Will have my first YOTA update later today. :)
DeleteGlad to see you joined YOTA - it is nice to see your UFOs get some progress. As for Stitch from Stash - you can do it! I have confidence in you ;)
