2021 Goals

I did okay this year, could have done better considering I was home all the time. I did make great progress on one of the older WIPs.

• TUSAL posts on the last day of the month --- DONE
• Complete Hedebo Starburst by Jette Roy Finlay-Heath (Hedebo) --- DONE, but still need to finish the edges
• Stitch on phase 2-3 piece Hiogi Fan (Japanese embroidery) --- DONE
• Start phase 4 piece Karahana (Japanese embroidery, goldwork phase) --- Not even close, class was cancelled due to COVID
• Stitch (and complete?) Blackwell Roundel by Jenny Adin-Christie (metal and silk work) --- Not even close
• Stitch Russian Domes class (goldwork) --- Not even close
• Start Midnight Meander by Hazel Blomkamp (crewel) --- DONE an completed :)
• Continue learning tulle embroidery --- Not even close, I can't blame lack of time :P
• Older WIPS:
• Complete at least one page of Ink Circles' Bramble and the Rose --- Above and beyond :)
• Stitch the hemstitch border on Donna M. Olson's Fantasy Lace --- Not even close 
• Finish Katherine Drummond's Romantic Rosebuds --- Not even close

This year's goals will be:

• Stitch and hopefully finish phase 2-3 piece Hiogi Fan (Japanese embroidery)
• Start phase 4 piece Karahana (Japanese embroidery, goldwork phase)
• Start phase 2 piece Flow Folio (Japanese bead embroidery)
• Start Goldwork Compass by Cynthia Jackson (goldwork)
• Stitch (and complete?) Blackwell Roundel by Jenny Adin-Christie (metal and silk work)
• Stitch on Dolcetti by Katherine Drummond
• Finish Elizabeth: A Sampler Doll Pincushion Maiden and Trunk by Giulia Punti Antichi
• Learn a new technique - Korean traditional embroidery
• Older WIPS. I'm putting these back in because they still need to be done. I'm hoping I do better this year.
• Complete Hedebo Starburst by Jette Roy Finlay-Heath (Hedebo)
• Stitch the hemstitch border on Donna M. Olson's Fantasy Lace 
• Finish Katherine Drummond's Romantic Rosebuds 
• Finish Annie Penin's Fleur de Sakura 

I have many new pieces starting in January-February, most of them are classes. Just to highlight, I have two goldwork classes, a bead embroidery class and one on traditional Korean embroidery (very excited to share this with you). Those will be prioritized over new starts and current WIPs. I will definitely be starting some new kits as I'll be too busy with the coming new starts. 

There are no travel plans this year. I don't plan on travelling anywhere until all my family members get vaccinated and even then I plan on waiting until at least 2023 just to be safe. On the plus side, the EAC seminar may go virtual. If it does, I will take some time off in May to attend.
