Poll now up - please help me decide

SO i am sitting tonight wondering what should be my next HAED chart that i get. I know i already have so many on the go, but one is going to take a back seat for a while, as i have lost all intrest in her at the moment. So would like something to replace her with. The poll is already set up to the right of the page, but below are the pictures of the charts i like
 mini peacock lagoon
 siberian forest 
 emerald hawthorn & mini emerald hawthorn
 gypsy firefly

I really would love them all, but santa is poor this year, so only going to allow myself one of them.Thank you for your help.

Hi all i have been working on Train of dreams for the past two weeks, and i am hoping after the IHSW this weekend that i will have my 1/2 yearly goals done. ( need another 2759 stitches done to complete the goal).

So over the past 2 weeks i have done 6588, which isnt bad since the first week i didn't stitch for half of it.
