I know, I know. It has been way too long since I updated my blog. Lisha, Bridget, Sharon, Theresa, I do apologize. But, I decided to end 2011 in a positive note and post something.
This year has been very busy. I didn't reach all of my stitching goals, but one of my most important was the Blackbird Designs Anniversaries of the Heart series. I am happy to say that I have finished all of the month blocks. I still need to finish the last bonus, but it should be completed in a few days. It was a lot of fun to stitch and will be such a family heirloom. I added many of my special family members to the blocks (parents, siblings, nephews, grandparents, and our newest additions Katie and Maddi). I can't wait to finish this and frame it. I know exactly where it will hang in the living room.
Now, as for my 2012 stitching goals I would like to finish some of the WIPs from 2011:
1. Trousse A Tri Fils
2. The Primitive Needle Witches Hollow
3. Cherished Stitches A Quaker Halloween Sampler
4. Gingerbread Stitching House
5. Bent Creek Christmas Mantle
6. Leisure Arts Mistletoe Ball
7. A Quaker Christmas
8. Blue Ribbon Designs Autumn Leaves and Sunflower Seeds
9. Blue Ribbon Designs Peppermint Twist
10. Blackbird Designs Seasons series
11. Country Cottage Needleworks newest series
12. Blackbird Designs Easter Parade.
Hopefully, I will be more successful this year. But if not, it's all right!!
To close this post, I want to share some photos of our wild cats:
This is Josie. And, yes, she is just as special as she seems to think she is in this photo. She is our three year old Maine Coon. This diva has a lot of sass and even more attitude. But, we love her.
This sweet "little" girl is Elizabeth (Lizzie). She is a year old and the nicest cat. Very calm, unless Nicholas gets out the laser pointer and then the girl can move.
Finally, we have Elvis. He is our 7 month old Maine Coon. He is just full of trouble. (I found a mess on the kitchen floor this morning where he pulled something off of the counter and tried to eat it.) He is super sweet and loves, loves, loves all of us. He is going to be a big boy though.
Happy New Year!!!

Your AotH looks wonderful! I'm working on Block #6 now (the 7th block if you count the first bonus). I'm enjoying every stitch. I like your change to the #6 personalizations. Happy New Year to you and your furbabies!
Your AotH is gorgeous and fun stitching goals for the new year. The June block gave me the most trouble personalizing it, love what you did. Sweet kitties too.
Happy New Year!!!
Your AotH is STUNNING! I started it last night...not liking month 1, but I think I can, I think I can :)
Your kitties are cuties! Happy New Year!
AotH looks awesome, I can't wait to see it done.
Good Luck with 2012 goals
