Future gazing

Looking ahead to the start of 2026 and overall goals for the year.

January 1 another stitch-along project with Dani. For 2026 we selected the Ink Circles pattern After the roses. 

January should also see the start of Welcome to Earth. This baby sampler is going to be a gift for a coworker and his wife. Currently selecting a fabric.

Projects to move forward

Travel project

For 2025 Rosemarkie by Long Dog Samplers was the default travel project. This one colour project was a great travel companion. The next travel project is going to be another Long Dog Samplers piece: Krozwyrd.  Well, this project is two colors. Only one is required at a time.

Planned to start

After the roses on January 1

Welcome to Earth as soon as possible

Celestial dragon - To be determined

What a state

So many projects - it can be hard keeping track.

At the start of 2025 I had 25 projects, including 4 that are gifts.  One needs new fabric; it is mostly white and the gray is not making the white pop.

Total projects: 23 - was hoping to finish Rosemarkie (Long Dog Samplers) over the holiday period but it isn’t looking good.

New projects planned: 3
