There are so many things on my "To Do Wish List" and it isn't all about my cross stitch either. For example, I still have to finish my quilt that I started last year. And I won't mention all of the wonderful sewing projects that I have in my baskets in the craft room. I just seem to keep acquiring them! In fact, there are two small sewing projects in particular that are screaming my name right now. (Thank you, Myra!!!!! You are amazing!)
I'm also trying to get a few little workouts in this winter as well. I admit it, I hate physical fitness! I was one of those kids in high school who would walk the mile and didn't give a hoot about a Presidential Physical Fitness Award. I hated gym and I was so glad that I didn't have to take it my junior and senior years. It left more time for Marching Band and Wind Ensemble! Fast forward to present day...... By no means am I grossly overweight, but being of short stature, five pounds can really make a difference. So, I've taken on a little bit of physical activity a couple of evenings a week......Zumba......on my Wii. Now don't laugh (even though I know it's hard not to). A girl has to do something to combat stitchy/sewing ass!
Don't forget I still have to finish up my Model Stitching. (I only have about a third of it to go.) And then there are the wips that I really want to finish up this year from last year's Crazy January Challenge. Plus, there are a few new pieces that I'm itching to start this year like the Spanish Mystery Sampler by Shakespeare's Peddler. Oh....and that Birds of a Feather piece that everyone did last summer. You know the one. That one is in my bag too, just begging to be started! Should I even bother to mention the exchange that I'm involved in?
Would it be awful to say I love it when Hubby gets stuck at work or has to be there on a Sunday? Sigh.......

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to clone ourselves so we could get it all done!!
you can do it! I know about the physical fitness, i need to start walking or something once my toe heals a bit more. Then i will put the grandbaby in his stroller and start taking walks to the park around the corner. anything has got to help. LOL can't wait to see what model you are stitching!
yup..dear you can do it..
sending you lots of good luck and all my best wishes..
hugs cucki xx
Oh don't I wish I had more time - you are right, it is a precious commodity. I guess we just have to try to make the most of what we have, right? Have fun with your new projects. :o)
Lets see stitch or work okay work to get money for more stash, yep that works for me.
I hope you get a little stitching in.

ohhhh hope things don't get wayyy to hectic for you that you can't fit in some stitching here and there .. you could always send the BOAF piece to me to stitch hahahah take care and don't over do it :) love mouse xxxxx
I so know what you mean about hating gym and being short! Not only do I have severe stitcher ass, but also have the extra weight from making excuses about my ankle still recovering from surgery. I finally looked at some local gyms, and want to get back into yoga and pilates, maybe get brave enough to try Zumba.
I know you are so busy this time of year but I hope you can manage to fit a stitch or two in there somewhere.

Good for you, Jennifer, on the physical stuff - I agree, I'd much rather stitch!
I also agree I like when my hubby is busy with his own stuff a bit here and there - we work opposite shifts, so that works out well for sewing and stitching.
And I really know what you mean about time - I am in HR and this is my busy, busy time; not to mention I was gone from work for most of 2011 and only what had to be done was done - lots of make-up time. If only there were extra hours in the day :o)
