SEPTEMBER GOALS. I didn't do as well as I would have liked, mainly because I chose a rather complicated and time-consuming chart for the round robin. The other factor impeding my progress was work ... this being the beginning of the academic year, there was a lot of overtime cutting into stitching time. On the other hand, I did go a long way toward catching up to my various ornament making goals.
SALs AND RRs:
Linda's RR: Start, finish and mail Debra's angel piece by 9/15. DONE.
Town Square SAL: Begin work on Val's Stuff's Train Depot. AFRAID NOT, THOUGH IT IS KITTED UP.

Don't beat yourself up! If you just look at the finished list, you actually accomplished a lot! Not only did you finish-finish ornaments (something I never manage to do!) but that angel RR was labor intensive. I think you had a very productive month even with the beginning of the new school year. I enjoy following your progress. Thanks for sharing! Nancy in NY Hedghogmom@aol.com
