Already it is that time of the month again. This year is flying by far too fast for my tastes. Too bad there wasn't a way to slow things down! I know I shouldn't really set goals...but I consider these more stitching possibilities. I know I won't get to them each month, but it is nice to at least think about what I have going on. So here is what I listed last time around:
Finish needlebook for Jodi--Yes, can you believe it--finished and received (may I take a bow!)Start stitching on last three birthday gifts from my birthday exchange(I have two picked out and one kitted up)--by the way these are not actually due to be mailed until November and December, so I am trying to play ahead--what a concept! --I have started on one, kitted up the second, and am waiting for Elegant Stitch to send supplies on the last one!Work on either HoHRH or VoHRH--any progress would make me happy! --Working on Square #1 of VoHRH- Dare I mention Merry Cox and my poor "Shaker Spool Holder"? --Sorry. What am I going to do about this??
Stitch Prairie Schooler "August"--it is a watermelon...surely I can handle that?--Started the little beehive- Maybe do some finishing? You saw the little pile I have that is ready to be finished...even one thing would be good. --No time for this this month.
Work on Just Nan's "Miss Kitty's Dragon" (more about this later)--Yes. I have actually been stitching on this almost daily! Slow progress, but progress all the same.- Finish my Wee Fancies--I just have to finish the little beehive. I think I won't stitch the sunflower. I am ready to move on to autumn stitching now.
Really, considering how little I have been stitching at home lately, I feel like I accomplished more than I expected. I am not sure what to do about my Merry Cox Shaker Spool Holder. Is anyone else still stitching on this? Lena-Lou--did you get your supplies? I hate to bail if there are still people who want to stitch as a group. I need to get motivated on this one to pick it up again.
Here is what I have in mind for September:
- Catch up on reading needlework blogs! Yes, I feel completely out of the loop as usual!
- Keep working on "Miss Kitty's Dragons"--maybe finish stitching this month.
- Work on my Prairie Schooler ornaments
- Work on those last three birthday gifts!!
- Continue working on VoHRH--try to finish square #1 and start square #2
- Complete last Wee Fancy (could be easily done in one night)
- Merry Cox "Shaker Spool Holder"--give it another try?
- New project: Just Nan "Crowjackers" and Birds of a Feather Halloween design (if I ever get my supplies)
- New Project: Kit up "Petite Mexican Sampler" (looking forward to this one!)
- Choose one UFO and spend a little time working on it!!
Obviously I am feeling ambitious! Maybe the cooler weather will help me work in more stitching hours!
