December Update:
After the last update realisation hit me that there wasn't much chance of me being able to complete all set projects, so I set a mini goal to concentrate on completing Fizzy Moon and 1 page of my HAED for this year end. So...
A Fizzy Moon finish (which ended up being mums Christmas present ... so expect another pillow appearing on the blog soon):

I have even managed to start the next page.
Error corrections and unexpected stitching:
So then I had a little time to correct/start correcting a few errors I have clumsily made this year:
In Big Ben there should have not been any dark in the reflection ... silly me has mixed up symbols

| May 2012 |
This error I have unpicked and corrected, then done some unexpected stitching:
In Venice the events occurred the other way around. I have been working on it to discover that I did not account for the overlap of 10 squares in my gridding so there is a 10 square wide line down the centre where the 2 pages of design overlap.

So a grande total of 8 complete. Next year although we are told to set the goals in the 1st check-in post I think I will do in advance hopefully before the year begins. This I think I will do by changing the Wipocalypse 2012 tab, and will have more SMART objectives (something I have learnt on my course). So I will update the sidebar links, and the tabs to reflect this update in the next few days. And now back to study.
Till soon,
Till soon,
P.S. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
