18 by October as quick as you are I am sure that you will finish in time. If all are as cute as this it should be a real treat. :D

There is no such thing as "clearing out your stash". Don't you know stash multiplies? Especially when you start finishing a lot of it.

I can't wait to see what some of these items are. My first venture back into cross stitch was with xmas ornaments. Those types of projects hold a special place in my heart.

Twilight Balloon Flight
The Accolade
Faces of Faery 89

bah well the gingerbread man i planned on starting with..i noticed the chimes are all rusty looking..and the plastic canvas had flaws in it so some holes were too big and some not even punched all the way though..
but i did get just about the whole thing done and when i went to do the big in the middle w/ the holly leaf..wellllll I SERIOUSLY miscounted somewhere..not sure but there was no way to fix it..didn't NOT want to frog it all..sooo in the bin.

so now I have 17 to do..lol
