This afghan is going to be one of the first. It's a Christmas gift for my friend who is a breast cancer survivor. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make it for her. I think from the size, I'll wait till cooler weather to get it started.
I've had this tunic for myself on my mind for a very long time and I think the time has come. I'm trying to decide what colors I want to use on it. I keep changing my mind.
I love knitting toys and I just found these bunnies online. I have a thing about pirates lately. I think it's leftover from Bandana Day. These two little fellows are on my short list of projects.
There are several cross stitch pieces I want to tackle soon, too. One is a special surprise for one of my blogging buddies, so I can't show a picture of it. But here are a couple that I'm looking forward to.
I love things Russian and my very favorite place in Moscow was St. Basil's Cathedral. I spent almost a whole day there. It was fabulous and I've been wanting to do it in cross stitch for a very long time. Now is the time.
The other is obvious, it's Morgan. Doesn't that face just ask to be captured, framed and hung in a special place?
Oh yes, there's another big project waiting for me. I can read Sky's mind. He's thinking, " It's getting hot outside, isn't it time for us to get summer haircuts?" He's right, all my pups are looking shaggy and warm. As soon as possible I have to shave them down and make them feel more streamlined.
There are so many things I'm looking forward to doing and I'm adding more every day.

It's a good thing that you can finally list things you want to do! The blanket will be perfect in fall, just not now. And that tunic? I'm seeing it in green or blue for you. Morgan does want to be cross stitched, and your cathedral will be beautiful! Have fun, now that you can see clearly!
Mom has lots of big ideas too, but somehow we bet your list gets done and hers will get passed on to the next year:)
That afghan is awesome.

What a lovely list of things to do. I am so happy that very soon your eyes will let you do them all.
I am especially looking forward to seeing Morgan in cross stitch.

You've set yourself loads of tasks. Hope you get through them. You'll have to update us on the finished projects.
We think Morgan will be a perfect model.

How fun to think about all the things you have been yearning to do.
The St. Basil's will be exquisite, the afghan a wonderful gift, ah, everything looks great!
Cheers and hugs,

That's a lot of projects. Don't forget to schedule in some quality naptime. Naptime is essential to maintaining my squirrel chasing skills. I'm sure that it's beneficial to craft projects as well.

I agree with my furiend Lola..don't forget the naps!

that is a lovely list. Marjie is right - blue or green for the tunic. Can't wait to see Sweet Morgan in stitches. g
I am so, so thrilled about your sight. I can only imagine your excitement as you make plans for all of your projects. Just be sure to take good care of yourself and listen to your dog-tors☺
I love doing crafts, I don't know what I would do if I suddenly couldn't do it anymore! We look forward to seeing pictures of finished projects.

It's great to have projects to look forward to and you have winners! The bunnies are just too cute!
What a busy summer you're going to have!! Can't wait to see pictures of your projects.
Keep healing!

What a fun, challenging list! Actually, I think the afghan is done in pieces then seamed together, THEN all that border. (The seams would be a deal-breaker for me.)
Glad to hear your eyes are getting better each day. You listed great projects! Everything look beautiful, especially Morgan's project!
Happy Friday to all!
