Keeping to my plan

It wasn't a New Year resolution but I made some plans for all my stitching, sewing and knitting.
It was that I would keep stitching one cross stitch design till it was finished instead of rotating my 4 WIPs.
So this is my Cut Thro' Beach Hut. I have started  the back stitching as there is a lot to do. I am determined to get this finished by the end of January.
And then after this I will chose one of my other WIPs and try to finish that too, and then I might allow myself a new start!
 
 
Knitting socks is a pleasure to me and my youngest Grand son needed some to put on when he gets in from school.
 
I still have the quilt on the go for my step daughter and it is looking lovely. I am very pleased with it. But this week at my sewing class, our teacher thought we might like to make some Christmas stuff on the last week of each month so I have started to make a table runner.
Lots to do all the time but just how I like to be... busy!!  Thank you for all your comments about my aunt, she was a lovely lady.
Hope you're all enjoying what ever it is you like to do.

    Gorgeous socks, I really love the colours. I am sure you can get the backstitching finished. It flies on the Cut Thru's as there is so much to look at as you do it.

    I love your beach hut work. It's so very detailed and intricate. I bet someone who has a home near the seaside would love that. And homemade socks! My mother used to knit socks like that for my father...it sure takes me back. Have a great week, Chris. Oh, by the way, Lorne & I are getting married May 1st!

    Good for you! You will be so delighted when the Beach Hut is finished. I allowed myself a two day break from my large project, to do a small Valentine project.

    Hi Chris, Today would have been a good day to have a pair of socks like the ones you made for your grandson. Your project is coming along nicely. I have several laying around to be completed. I work on one and then the another. I have to keep the mind and hands busy. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.

    Love the socks and WIP, Chris!! The socks are too cute.

    I think you definitely should join the SBCC!! ;) I couldn't reply to you comment directly via email since you don't have an email attached to your blogger account. :(
