HOLEY GUACAMOLE…WHAT A START TO THE YEAR!!!!

Oh My Goodness…what can I say!!!….Wowza, you girls are

A-MAAAAAAAAY-ZING!!!

If you could only see me….I’m doing backflips, frontflips, doing it gangnam style and breakdancing all at the same time….well….in my head anyway!!!! 

Why, you may well ask??? 

Can you believe a whopping 75 finishes for the month of January????!!!!   That’s right…..SEVENTY-FIVE……..three score and fifteen….wooohooooooooo!

Yes I know…I did give you extra time, because I was away…and this was an additional 16 items but still…..my jaw is dragging on the ground….literally!!!!!    When I forecast 500 finishes for the year….I really was thinking 12 full months but I think we’ll do that in about 7????

So….let’s see……a predicted 500 finishes less the 75 completed already…that leaves 425.  Given 11 months to go, thats about 39 finishes a month….I think we’ll do it, no problems….considering there are 45 of us so far…..one each a month will get us there, eeeeeasy!

Oh girls…..I’m speaking for Dawn and myself, we’re just like proud clucky little mother hens…..so proud of you all!!!! 

And because I’m brimming with absolute joy…..I’m sending each and every one of you the first month’s block of the month pattern….just because!!! 

But don’t expect it to be a regular thing….I’m caught up in the moment now….each month, you are going to have to have at least one finish of a UFO project you’ve started or have fully organised from before Dec 31 2012 to get the next block…or you miss out!

Remember, February’s a short month so get stitching and rip out your UFO’s (metaphorically!!!! )  and let’s see how many we can do this month!

Some good news and some bad news

Some good news and some bad news….which do you want first?

Ok…some good news……

I have the pattern all ready to send out to all of our January finishers, with requirements, cutting instructions, assembly instructions for one of the blocks and the stitchery design to get you going, but…..

some bad news……..

I can’t do the monthly tally nor email it to you until next Wednesday because life’s just getting in the way again and I’m testing your flexibility!!!!!  LOL   We have to fly to Brisbane tomorrow early, as my son has a procedure on his eye at the hospital tomorrow afternoon.  We wont be coming home till next Tuesday evening as they will be checking his progress Tuesday morning….it’ll will give me some mother-son time and some Wendy-stitching-catch-up time too, but that just means you’ll have to wait…..SORRY!!!!!

but still, some good news comes out of any bad…………

it DOES give you a few more days to get your first month finishes in, if you haven’t already done so….We’ll tally up on Wednesday, so if you’ve got your post up of your January finishes before then, you’ll get your Free January BOM block….If you’ve already got January finishes though, and you post about a February finish in that time, don’t worry….you’ll still get counted in February’s finishes so you’ll still get the Free February BOM block at the end of the month!!!  Confused?????  I hope not! 

Just remember….February is a short month, so make sure you’ve got a little finish organised for Feb. so you don’t miss out! *wink*
