Ready for a New Year

We are just two days away from being in 2012. I just dont know where the time has gone!! I cant really complain about this past year - I have achieved a few things and MADE myself to some things or else I never would have done them.
I signed up the London Marathon - fair enough I wasnt one of the lucky/unlucky ones to get!!
I got myself a tattoo which I have been wanting for a few years.
    I applied for Uni and got in - so started my Degree course in September.
    I managed to get my head sorted and lost weight - about a stone - although I have actually put it back on. BUT I am in the `zone' again and am going to make 2012 the year!!
    I have been stitching on and off for the last couple of months, but have decided to concentrate solely on stitching as my hobby rather than dabbling in a bit of often unsuccessful card making/scrapbooking... so I am considering now selling all my papercraft supplies.
    I have been reading some of the blogs by my fav stitchy people and have asked to join in one of the activities - Stitch from Stash. So with this I will only stitch charts/kits within my stash and not but anymore. I am going to slowly go through my stash and sort it out and add to my Stitch from Stash list but at the moment I have 2 Gorjuss kits that got for Christmas as well as the L*K Fat Snowmen which I started stitching before Christmas.

  1. really glad to have you on board with the stitch from stash Claire. Here's hoping we make a good dent in our chart stash!

    I would love to get a tattoo and am thinking of having one for my 50th birthday in 2 years time!

  3. Glad to see you blogging again and stitching,
    haven't chatted for ages, hope we can again soon.
    I've wanted a tattoo for years but never got around to it because I still can't decide what design I want lol.
    Well be good to have someone else doing the stitch from stash challenge.
    Very envious of your Gorjuss cross stitch, I LOVE those designs.
