Anyway - 2006! I went back and looked at my goals and really, I didn't make any LOL - I said I'd go back after I'd sorted through all my stash etc ... but well, probably in tune with how 2006 was, I never got around to it.
So here is what I finished - I've put some years next to the bigger things that were old pieces that I finished this year - I'm pleased that I did indeed finish a couple of older WIP's.

Wow! I sold quite a few of these on ebay - so haven't kept them all, and quite a few were exchanges - which were a lot of fun this year!
Now 2007 ... I still need to think about this and list some things down (gosh, that sounds like 2006!). But my biggest goal is to become more organised and selective about what I stitch. I'm only going to start things that I plan to finish completely, as in get them framed, make them up into smalls, or whatever. I plan to do more quilting, card-making and sewing - so the finishing part will hopefully be more realistic. I have SO many unframed pieces and I end up selling them because we need the money or they just sit rolled up. I think over the past few weeks this has affected my mood and enthusasim - hence my new goal, I want stitching to become exciting for me again :)
I also plan on digging out all my WIP's (I have more than a few) and listing them on my side bar and crossing them off as I finish them - another 2007 goal is to be a lot more organised with my stash - it is all over the place right now!
So 2007 -
- Finish every finish - therefore selective starts.
- List and work on old WIPs
- Organise my stash
With that - Happy New Year everyone, may it be a happy and healthy one!

Good luck with your list my friend. I did that for 2006 and it worked out quite well. I was much less stressed with my stitchy time :) Happy New year to you!
You have an amazing list of finishes for this year! Happy New Year!!
LOL I love how you think about the day, the cricket match, the knitting and the pretend listening. LOL
Wow, you did a lot of stitching in 2006. Great job! Your goal sounds like a good one for 2007. Good luck with it!
You had some nice finishes in 06. Good luck with your goals for this year!

You have been a very busy lady! Do you keep track of how much those pieces brought you on eBay?
Good luck with your goals for 2007. Happy New Year!
