What a Year many ups and downs through out 2010, more downs then ups but I did get through another year. I ended the year on a high however. I again this year did The Magic of Christmas *see previous post for pictures*, and again was a very rewarding experience. I did the hospitals again and the centre I went to was again touching. I thought of Rene La Frog when I was doing my rounds. I do believe we have touched some lives in a positive way. There was one gentleman that was touched by us caring for him on Christmas and giving him a stuffed animal. He asked about what the organization was. After we explained to him about it I gave him a hug he started to cry that I cared so much for him I am seriously considering going back to see him. One woman was touched because in her 91 years it was the first time she ever got a teddy bear. Another patient wanted a Koala because he was from Australia originally and I did find one for him cause all the kids in us know that "Santa Delievers". One case that interested me the most was a woman didn't want us to talk or look at her. But when I saw her eating lunch I was able to talk to her and made her smile, the aids were shocked as she is a very aggressive woman. I am glad I went. We did some random Elfing's and made a lot of people smile. That is the best gift ever!!
Not a lot of stitching was done for the year but I plan on making up for that. I still play WOW but not a lot as it has lost all interest even with the new expansion.
For the New Year I have 16 new starts planned, all for January 1st I also have a model stitching job for Kustom Kraft. Really looking forward to that. I have my first assignment but I have to wait for the LNS to open on Tuesday to get the fabric for it. Another thing I am looking forward to is going back to school. I am still waiting for the funding to be approved.
So my 16 New Starts are as follows with photos:

Good luck on all your starts and working on your model stitching for Kustom Kraft. I am not starting anything new but trying to get some baby blankets done before starting anything new.
Awesome update! Good luck with all the new starts!
What great starts. I LOVE the Lavendar and Lace pieces. I have done both Celtic ladies. Beautiful pieces.

My but you are ambitious. Good luck with all you new projects.
Wow! To touch so many unexpecting people is wonderful :)
Good luck sticking with all of your goals for 2011!
Wow you have some great starts for this year. Cannot wait to see your progress.
Great update. Look forward to seeing all your wonderful new WIP's.
Wow you have some fabulous pieces lines up for the year. Good luck with them all. I can't wait to see them progress to finishes. :)
Looks like a lot of fun patterns for 2011. Those should keep you busy!
An awesome set of starts and goals!
That is an admirable start to 2011! I still have things from last year that need to be worked on, if I could just get up enough energy to do them. Right now, trying to work on a set of embroidery kitchen towelsfor dd#1 as when I saw hers, they were the limpest, sorriest, holiest, tatty dish towels I have ever seen. To say they had seen better days is an understatement. It has been over 30 years since I have done that type of needlework, and finally figured out the whys and wherefores of the craft. Am having a ball. I am going to take this year as it comes and go by the spur of the moment and decide as I go. Guess I am not organized enough to make a goal for the stitching part of my life. Good luck and have fun.
