goals, in a broad sense

I won't go as far as creating lists with a defined set of goals as I probably would be less likely to do them that way. (Just makes it seem more like work .)
But I will list what I have and need to get done. So here goes.....

Peaches: needs to have lettering added. I have emailed for the exact details of weight, length, date of birth and so on. I haven't heard back yet so I may need to follow up. Then wash, press and maybe make into a card or something compatible with papercrafts. (As a keepsake.)

Jingle Bells: I need to backstitch and wash, press and hopefully finish into an ornament. This would be my first. So I am tempted to make another thing , a quickie , to try and make into an ornament as my track record hasn't been great with that sort of thing. Me? Chicken? Yes!

Fred: I have decided I detest the fabric I started him on -the count and the color. I'd like to restart him. But if I did so it would be to probably make into something ornament related as gift for someone. Seeing as how I stitch so slowly and it is pushing the season if I have a chance at accomplishing my stitch related gifts goal this year.

Silhouettes: I had planned on all four, but failed to stick with it. I had a possible gift in mind for a teacher, almost a mentor, through school. She loves sunsets and I thought I may be able to stitch one as a thank you card for her.

Popcorn and Souffle: Wanted to make that for Ainslie, she is going to be a big sister. But as I would also like to make something for the new (unnamed) baby coming in November(?) I have no idea what. Ainslie is really into ducks which is how the whole thing started. (No one knows it is meant for her to begin with so if it doesn't get done I have disappointed no one.)

Ghost: Which is a rarity, it is meant for me. I love the design and wanted something to hang onto/decorate this shelf thing that has a bar on the bottom. I may keep that as a reward for any other accomplishments that may come along... We'll see.

the unnamed items

>A new, shopped for and pondered item, for my sister. Who may be reading this, I have no idea. So I may stitch and have to leave WIP pics off until it has been received. But at this point it has a possible pattern, a stack of threads and beads so .... I have no idea.

>A promised redwork project for my mother-in-law. I have never done redwork but seeing as it is mostly backstitching type style and printed on the fabric I should be golden. SO I need to rinse some red thread with vinegar, she says it is purely for decoration , but I don't want to risk it needing a washing in the future and bleeding all over.

>And last but not least the fact that I want to stitch Christmas gifts (as mentioned above)
