My 2006 goals didn't seem too bad at the time, but life got in the way and my accomplishments were quite poor. Here's how I went:
Completed:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
Started but not finished:
▪ Apricot Elegance SAL by Cindy Valentine ... started, but not finished
▪ Nature's Rest UFO ... did a few hours, but not completed
▪ Continue with my rotation ... um sort of, off and on
▪ Continue stitching from my stash ... again sort of, off and on
Not touched:
▪ Secret Garden SAL by FMNIS ... still waiting for the SAL to start
▪ Folding Cross Needlbook SAL by Indigo Rose ... um, no
▪ Lavender Thistle Collection SAL by Twisted Oaks ... um, no
▪ Strawberries So Faire SAL by With My Needle ... SAL didn't happen, unless I missed it!
▪ A December Box SAL by Cherished Stitches ... um, no
▪ Stitch a pincushion ... um, no but still hopeful!
▪ Start Angel of Love by L&L ... there are still a couple of days left yet!
▪ One project from Inspirations magazines ... um, no but still hopeful! (a canvaswork pincushion is kitted up to kill 2 birds with 1 stone!)
Seeing as I did so badly with my 2006 goals, my goals for 2007 are quite simple -
▪ Participate in Needleroll SAL weekends
▪ Participate in Christmas Ornament SAL weekends
▪ Participate in Quaker Friendship RR
▪ Complete my 50 Project Challenge
▪ Build my confidence by actually 'finish-finishing' a few things (eg And Many More needlecase, Bumble the Bee Waxer Pocket)
▪ Enjoy my stitching and not set too many goals!

Wow, you have had an amazing job with finishing this year! Congrats on all the wonderful work:)
You've done so much this year! And I must say I think your 2007 goals are far more sensible than mine! (Yest to post mine but they're a bit out of control! LOL)
Wow - That's an amazing list of finishes! Congrats!
Anne - congratulations!! You have had a great stitching 2006. I think you have been very wise in your choice of goals for 2007 (I will be following your lead, I think)
Looking forward to following your progress in 2007.
Wow, what a great list of accomplishments! I'd say your goals for 2007 sound entirely do-able. Who/what/where is the needleroll SAL and may I invite myself along? :o)
You did badly for 2006?? Oh my, I think 56 finishes is A+++++++++++++++!!!!!!
Wow, that is quite a list. I can't wait to see what you have lined up for next year.
What an amazing list of 2006 finishes - Congratulations!! Looking forward to seeing your 2007 projects.
I'm still getting my RAK info together. Somehow Christmas got in the way - pleasantly I must say. Hope to be able to join all you great people early in January.
Best wishes for a healthy & happy 2007.

Um... WOW! That is quite an amazing list you have there. You blew me out of the water. :D Congratulations on such a successful year of stitching and best wishes for an even better one in 2007!
WOW!! Way to go with all of your 2006 finishes Anne! You should definitely be proud of your accomplishments. Good luck with your goals in 2007!! :)
You accomplished quite a lot in 2006! Wow!
Anne, your completed stitching list for 2006 is amazing!! Even if many were small, you still finished over one project a week! Hurray!
Congrats on all your finishes! Wow!! Puts mine to shame. :(
