I am very pleased with all I have achieved this year especially completing the three HAEDs. I never thought I'd be able to stitch one, even a quick stitch, so I am delighted with those.
I have been stitching away this week on HAED Winter ( Sara Butcher) but am getting a bit despondant with it if I'm honest. I'm not doing too badly but haven't even finished a page yet and with 36 pages of chart I'll be lucky if I get it finished before I'm 50! LOL! I have three other full size charts in my stash so have now decided that I won't get another full sized one no matter how much I like it. To complete it any quicker I'd have to work on it constantly and would probably end up fed-up before I'd finished it! I think once I get one page completed I will more than likely feel better about it. My goals on the HAED board for 2007 are to finish 2 pages of Winter ( being realitistic here!) and to finish QS Summer ACEO. I really want to start HAED Guardian and Spirit of Winter this year too but there's no way I could cope with three full sized ones on the go. I'll see how I get on with Winter over the next month or so. I'll post an up to date WIP pic of Winter after tonight.
On the rotation front I'm changing it slightly. I have now decided on a 4 week rotation to include HAED Quick Stitch Dragonette so that I get more done on that too. If I don't it'll take me forever to stitch the few pages it has!
Good news about the hair straighteners I sent away before Christmas! As they hadn't reached their destination as of yesterday Royal Mail considered them lost so that meant I could make a claim. I printed off a claim form from their website but then decided to do a search for the service centre I'd sent them to. Turns out that they've moved from Warrington to Wigan since the booklet that was with my straighteners was printed. So I rang them to ask if mail was being directed to them and explained what had happened. Turns out my straighteners were redirected there and they are sending me a replacement shortly! So that is one piece of good news for the New Year!

Hello Sally,

What a truly amazing list of achievements. Having just caught up with Heather's blog on Spaces, and seen her list of achievements too, I really do feel that it is about time I pulled my finger out and did some stitching.

Good news about the hair straighteners, by the way.
