 Well, two actually.  The question came up as to what word you would choose for the coming year.  One suggestion I really like is focus but it is not quite right and sounds a bit chiding to me.  What I really needed was the opposite of Procrastinate and found this online... If to procrastinate is "to put off doing something," then its antonym is  anticipate  — "to deal with beforehand." So you can say the opposite of procrastination is anticipation. If you can live with more than one word, a clearer antonym of procrastination is being proactive. I like the positive sound of anticipate but proactive sounds a bit more forceful which might be better since I really need to take myself in hand here.  So, I will take a page from the book of people who get married and hyphenate their surnames.  My word for the year will be Anticipate/Proactive.

  I have decided to keep a daily stitching journal here this year.  It was a little challenge from Virtual Threads, the online chapter of EAC (Embroidery Association of Canada.   Another challenge I have decided to accept is the usual UFO (Unfinished Projects) challenge but more on that later. I will use this little stitching image to easily identify my Stitching Journal Entries.  This will not be limited to projects with a threaded needle, but will include other projects such as the thrummed mittens I am currently struggling with because honestly, I find them a lot more difficult than any embroidery.
