Mirabilia Large-Stitch RR – January 2013 start
I guess it's safe to say that I set my sights a little high.
I will post a new list for 2013 shortly. Do you think I can make it a tad more realistic??

Karen,
Your 2012 list and my 2012 list look very similar in the didn't touch/stitched a few stitches only category. I spread myself too thin this year. My list if I make one is going to be a short one.
Sorry to hear that a couple of your RR's are still MIA's.
Sending all good wishes for a successful stitching year.

Love the comment for number 4 - bought some floss and fabric. Like that counts as progress LOL.
I've made my list more manageable this year too!! Simply by stopping at 13 pieces.

Oooh why hold yourself back?! If you want 121255485 items on the list then go for it!
I already know I will not complete my goals buy hey, its something to aim for at least :D
I set my heights too high last year and failed miserably... did I learn my lesson and make my targets easier this year? Nope, if anything I made the harder - it's fun!
Enjoy whatever you do choose to start on!
There is nothing wrong with having goals. And I am sure you finished a lot of other things that were not on the list as well as doing all the wonderful things that get in the way of stitching (like cub scout camp) hehe and such. And you know what? Your 2012 list can become your 2013 list and you won't have to agonize over downsizing the list. I am still working on my list and it will more than likely be unrealistic, but it will still be a list of things that I would like to complete in 2013. Maybe it's the challenge we like....
