Happy May 1st the begining of 31 days of MAYnia!!

For many stitchers this is an exciting time  of sarting one or many new projects , finishing one or many WIPs or a mixture of both. 

May you all have a joyful stitching journey this month

May all your stitches lay well and 

May the frog never visit your home. 

I have been reflecting on my stitching in order to set realistic goals. I currently have 23 WIPs and my goal is to finish all projects started prior to 2020 in the next five years.  To assist me in creating a plan I put together a plannning list for the next five years and listed which WIPs I would stitch and complete each year. 

So for 2020 my paln is to complete
