ORTS
I got a fancy new ORT container in the summer, and I adore it. I wanted something different and I think I accomplished that.
Here are my ORTS for the year
To follow my tradition, I also made them into an ornament
2019 WIPS
I started the year with 14 WIPS.
1 was completed (Tapestry) and 2 were removed (Prickly and Mini Monsters)
The following will continue onto 2021
- Canada Sampler (2017 WIP)
- Fantasy Triptych (2017 WIP)
- Dragons of Sumatra (2018 WIP)
- Sneek (2018 WIP)
- Death by Cross Stitch (2018 WIP)
- Shakespeare's Fairies
- Zen Garden
- Templar Prophecy
- The Red & The Black II
- Words to Live by
- Castle Walls
2020 Starts and Finishes
I started 12 new projects in 2020 including 5 ornaments
I finished 7 and one was removed
The following continue onto 2021
- Worker Bees
- Starburst
- Celtic Band Sampler
- Henna Mandala
This leaves me with 15 current WIPS, which I am perfectly okay with. However, I would like to see even a couple of the 2017/2018 WIPS get completed.
2021 Plans
My January 1st start is picked and all ready to go. This will be done with a few friends again. I love this tradition we have!
I also plan to do the Peppermint Purple 2021 SAL. I am doing this one in the same style as 2020 (rectangle) and with the called for DMC. After Clare released the framework, I am now thinking I may do both as the square is amazing.
I would like to get back to doing the monthly ornaments again. Shannon Christine released a SAL in October called the Cross Stitch Ornament Club. I have them all kitted and planned to start them right away. That did not happen, so I'm now planning on using them for 2021 ornaments. There were 10 released and a few freebies, so the numbers are perfect!
Something else I would like to get back to doing monthly is the Words to Live by Project. I was doing well with this until COVID and tax season struck (not sure who to blame, but money is on both). So will see how the months go and maybe I can have this one done in 2021!

I would love to say I'm going to keep up with my blog in 2021, but I just don't know what this year will bring. I know I would love to do the weekly updates, but for now i'm going to try and do at least a monthly update... fingers crossed. If you are on Instagram, I do post much more frequently.

I love your new start. We have a similar amount of WIPs, and a similar age range too!
