Today I was perusing Pinterest and came across one of my favorite stiching blogs again.

I just love everything i have seen of her stitching.  So much inspiration all in one place!
I went back all the way back to her very first post and discovered
the reason she numbers every stitch she posts. 
She had set a goal of doing an ornament every week of 2009. 
Now here I am thinking, Why can't I do that too?  Problem is...
we are now 12 weeks into 2023 so I am seriously behind.  But not as behind as you may think..
Since February 13th, 2023, I have done 9 ornaments
[just the stitching part, finishing is still to be done] 
So technically all I have to do to get caught up to be current and on schedule is make 4 in the next week.... Can I do it? Maybe... 
My health hasnt been so good the last three months and every day is like russian roulette..
Or as Forest Gump says.. Life is like a box of chocolates.. you never know what your gonna get....
I have also decided to not continue doing crafts that I either do not enjoy or frustrate me beyond belief.
Things like stamping, papercrafts and junk journals.  Nope, just not going to do them any more. 
I will pass on what things i have that I wont use and move on to what does give me joy.

So I will set this same goal for myself and see how I do. 
The patterns I am doing are smalls, so it might just work.

Here are the first pieces I have stitched this year... 9 so far...
