I'm hoping to do another 3 letters on Xander's alphabet afghan the first week of January. In fact, that's my plan for each UFO week till it's finished - 3 letters. THat way it should be all finished for his 2nd birthday in September. :)

Okay I am definitely going to do some UFO work this first week of the year! I will likely pick up Chessie because I just literally did 8,000 stitches of black over the last 2 weeks on Wrath and can't imagine picking up Catch a falling star and having to stitch nothing but 939 for a week!

I have a feeling all of my projects are turning into UFOs. :(

It's not that I don't want to stitch, it's just I can't find the time to stitch. And when I do I can't see well enough to stitch. I did about 100 stitches in Last E Ticket Ride yesterday but then I had to put it away because my eyes hurt.

I'm GOING to finish Trio of Bears if it kills me, whether I can see of not.
current project rotation:
Twilight Balloon Flight
The Accolade
Faces of Faery 89
Dad's Flower Pot

Since Santa is done and waiting for the framer, I am going to get to work on finishing my Tree of Life window. There is very little actual stitching for this design, most is just backstitching, backstitching and more backstitching. It is a copy of a leaded glass window. I will hold off sending Santa to the framer, in the hopes of finishing my window and sending them both out at the same time.

I'm going to work on HMS Victory for January's UFO week - I should be able to get it finished if I buckle down and concentrate on it, but it's been somewhat abandoned for the last few weeks in favour of my mermaid and then the small holiday projects.

I am up for this! I'm not home until Saturday but will be picking up my Winnie the Pooh one when I get back for the week. This is such a good idea. :D

Woot, my first UFO week! I'm going to be working on my first of the four cat portraits. I got about 300 stitches into the first one earlier this month and then set it down...a perfect candidate for UFO week.

It has officially started - two minutes ago :)
I am working on my winter picture. Actually, I am cheating because I started it last year - 2 hours ago :lol:

Hi, Lisa, what you have to do is put your photo on a site like FLickr or Photobucket (I use this) or I think tinypicture was also mentioned, then copy and paste the link they give you in your post here.

Another option is to create your gallery here on the forum, and you can also put a link to your gallery in the post but I don't really know how. I myself only upload my finished works there. *Making a mental note: to upload the new ones!*

I can't believe it's UFO week already, it only seems 5 minutes since the last one! Anyway, this month I will be working on HMS Victory. It was only started in around October, but I haven't touched it for a few weeks and it's the only thing outstanding that I really need to get finished.

Lisa, this is beautiful, I hope you can do a lot on it during UFO-week. If not, we will poke you a bit :poke: :lol:

As for posting the picture, I am sure someone will come soon and find the mistake in the post (I am totally useless in such things) - so that the picture itself can appear in the post, not only the link. But anyway, this serves the purpose for now. :)

I mentioned somewhere that I had put up my UFO's on my wall in my craft room as a way to nudge me to working on them.. that kind of didn't work though :oops: But UFO week seems to do the trick!
I will be finished Tenderness at Sunset which in the Gold Collection of Dimensions.

I can't find anywhere on the web that is selling this anymore :roll: So I couldn't find a proper pic to show what this will look like when it's complete...
