As I've said before, I've been meaning to paw through all my pretty stash and decide what I really want to see stitched in my lifetime (I'll wait while you roll on the floor with laughter....you finished? Good, We'll move along now).
I finally sat down and went through my absolute favorites. This, IN NO WAY, means that they will ever be stitched. It just means that I sat down and made a list....whew, that was a lot of work, in and of itself.
So, as part of my participation in WIPocalypse, here's my list, in no particular order (except for the monthly cottages - I reallllllly want to do each one of those as they come out! Oh, and the Call of the Wolf....I'm stitching that for my not-so-little sweetie, so it's a priority too)

You still with me??? Whew, quite a list, isn't it? Now, before ya'all start thinking that I'm so filthy stinking rich that I must wipe my tooshie with dollar bills, (I DO NOT, BTW!!!) let me say that a lot of this wonderful stash was gifted to me by my even more wonderful hubby as birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, Dinner-was-so-good-last-night gifts, and nearly everything on here was purchased on sale (I had a LNS go out of business and I hit her "kick everything to the curb for a penny" sale!) or was purchased from the "Bay of Evil" ("bay of evil" is shamelessy borrowed from the wonderful Edgar's blog). I "heart" him and his delightful sense of humor! :)
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my "wanna do" list. Here's hoping that someday I'll be able to shift at least a few "wanna do's to the "done did's" column! :)
I "cherish" this wonderful world of needlework that I love so much and I also cherish the ability to hope and wish and dream and paw the stash I love so much! :)

I think I've married the wrong man, I've never had a "dinner-was-so-good-last-night" gift lol . . . but then maybe that just says something about my cooking?
Lots of designs I don't know on your list, so I'm really hoping to get to stitching at least some of them this year ^^
Wow! That is some list - I'll be watching as those move to the done did list. LOL I am loving the cottages and seeing yours is making me want to stitch them. (I must resist!)
Very impressive list. After I picked myself up off the floor I thought maybe I should make a similar list of my stash but then I came back to my senses and thought maybe I shouldn't.
I am currently making up a wish list on 123 Stitch. Like I really need to add to my stash?!?
I enjoy your blog and I also agree with you about Edgar. He's a hoot!
Great list. I hope you get good progress on all of these and a few finishes too!
that's some list! good luck
Good luck with your list, Sharon. I'd never think you were so stinking rich, LOL. I have a lot of stash, too! (I think we all do)
