:applesauce: These look like great projects and not small ones either. Are you planning on doing a bit on each one this week? Just read your thread where you said you are adding three more projects to your rotation after UFO week and all have intriguing names. I am looking forward to seeing those as well.

Pardon my ignorance, I'm new to the forum, and to a cross stitch community in general... but what is a UFO? I mean I have an idea of what it is looking through the board but what does it stand for? And if anyone can direct me to a board that lists acronyms and phrases I should know? If it exists??

This will link to the Glossary Lots and lots of info there. I refer to it also as I had no knowledge of cross stitch terms, lingo, etc until joining the forum. UFO is an UnFinished Object, a project started but not worked on for quite a while. (I prefer, personally, to call mine projects on hold. Makes me feel better and then I can pretend I will get back to them eventually :oops: )

:applesauce: What an adorable piece that is! So sweet. You've made a start and I am looking forward to seeing your progress on the 7th. I'm not sure I would be able to put this one down, it is so cute.

This is just the perfect place for me. I have 3 UFO's, I think, that I need motivation to work on.

Progress updated as of 6th Jan. This is a work in progress....not really an UFO. Just that it takes me a long time to stitch as I am stitching other projects in rotation.

Are we still doing our UFO club stitch a long? If so, my UFO is the "Rock the Moon" which I will do a bit of stitching on. I don't like the design but will work on it since I want to get it over with. I started on that last year as well as the "Footprints that we leave in the Sand". I will do a bit more on that then switch over to my "Outrageous Owls" design. This is a much better and enjoyable design to stitch. The various owls are delightful and very colorful as well.

I really want to do this, this month but I have a super busy week this week so it am going to do what I can and see how I get on. I am going to work on my daughters birth sampler which has become a bit of a UFO again!

Started this more than three years ago to give to my cousins for their wedding present. Just found it again recently and decided to get cracking.

Happy first of the month! I will be dragging out my almost-done and WAAAAAY too long unfinished oriental butterfly. Seeing this board gives the the motivation I need to finally finish the darn thing (I hope, I hope, I hope).

Hi Katie! Hope that you will post a pic of your progress on your UFO. Everytime this "club" meets I think about the drawer where I have a few of those hiding on the bottom and then convince myself that I have to work on a WIP or it will turn into a UFO. I am a real pro at finding excuses, but seeing an update on yours might be that push that I need. :oops:

I finished my butterfly! I'm at the beach and I can't figure out how to post a pic from my phone, but I'll be sure to post when I get home. Thanks for giving me the inspiration I needed to much myself in the pants and finish this up after so long!
