Wanda's UFOs
1. Chinese Money Men – kit I bought in China
2. “Evangeline” by Lavender and Lace. I started this for a SAL a long time ago
3. “Snow Fun” by Little River – a snowman angel chart, another SAL that got de-railed
4. “Why Hoard Gold” by Dragon Dreams – kitted up and barely started
5. “Gardens Galore Sampler” – a Cross Country Stitchin’ sampler that one of my sisters started and asked me to finish about 8 years ago. It was about half done. It was not my taste and I hated to work on it, so it is only about 60% done all these years later. But her house burned down and now I would like to finish it for her.
6. “Alaska” – one of the heart kits from Victoria’s Sampler. This was the second time I stitched it the chart and it would not take much to finish it.
7. “Garden House” by Dawna Barton – a watercolour-style piece on blush linen. I did not get a lot done on it before my first marriage broke up. I didn’t even recall starting it until I came across it a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks Vicki

Photos!
I had taken a couple of photos before it crashed, so here they are:
The money one was all done except George Washington's face, and the cable car was about 80% done. Both were stitched very neatly, so fun to finish!
So, 2 down, lots more to do!

My UFOs
- Desert Garden Mandala - Chatelaine
- Wedding Sampler - Teresa Wentzler
- Shore Patrol - Elsa Williams
- Once Upon a Tree - Jeannette Douglas
- Looking Down Yosemite Valley (Albert Bierstedt) - Golden Kite
- Flowers 1 (Pierre-Joseph Redaut) - Golden Kite
- Flowers 2 (Pierre-Joseph Redaut) - Golden Kite
- Fall Cat - Cross My Heart Designs
- Ginger Cottage (Marty Bell) - Pegasus
- Peacock Tapestry - Teresa Wentzler
- Silvery Moon Storykeep (Jessica Galbreth) - Heaven and Earth Designs
- Snowflake Elegance Ornaments - The Gold Collection by Dimensions
- Christmas Gazebo Sampler - The Victoria Sampler
- Angel of Christmas - Dimensions
Technically, Flowers 1 and 2 are not UFOs yet because they haven't been started. But they will be by January 1st, so I included them. I'd definitely like to finish Desert Garden Mandala (it's getting close!), the wedding sampler, Fall Cat, and I'd especially like to make major headway on Yosemite Valley. This one has been languishing for quite a while because my focus has been on Desert Garden. So that makes this group and the requirement that I post regular updates a real incentive. So here's looking forward to some fun!
