Assessing Sept Goals, Setting Oct Goals

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.
Bride's Tree SAL: Finish May-September ornaments. FINISHED MAY'S BIRD IN A NEST,



MONTHLY PROJECTS:
Thanksgiving Ornaments:
Finish stitching and assemble PS Turkey from Harvest Time. DONE.
Finish stitching and assemble PS Pumpkins from promo card for Farmer's Market. DONE.
Assemble Kreinik Cornucopia. DONE.
Stitch and assemble two CEC ornaments using motifs from Thanksgiving Circle. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MOVED FORWARD TO OCTOBER.


FOCUS PROJECTS
BAP: Finish Section 1 and start Section 2 of TW's Autumn Faerie. SHAME ON ME - NOTHING THIS MONTH.
Medium Project: Resume work on The Sweetheart Tree's Holly and Hearts Sampler. HANGING HEAD IN SHAME, YET AGAIN.


SURFACE EMBROIDERY: Continue work on Encrusted Crazy Quilt Square, mastering the boullion stitch. NADA.


SEWING PROJECTS:Finish-finish ornaments to date. AT LEAST THIS GOAL HAS BEEN MET, WITH 3 ORNAMENTS ASSEMBLED AND TRIMMED.

NOT ON GOAL: Stitched and assembled Blue Ribbon Designs Perched on a Pumpkin Hallowen Ornament from Sept. 2010 JCS issue.


OCTOBER GOALS


SALS and RRs
Linda's RR: Stitch and mail the last piece to Linda by 10/15. I haven't even received this in the mail yet, so meeting this goal seems problematic already!
Town Square SAL: Val's Stuff Train Depot.
Bride's Tree SAL: Catch up to October ornament.
Rachel's Halloween SAL: Stitch a Halloween ornament from the JCS issue.


MONTHLY PROJECTS:
Thanksgiving Ornaments: Stitch three ornaments from CEC Thanksgiving Circle to catch up to goal of one ornament a month.

FOCUS PROJECTS:
BAP: Finish Section 1 & 2 TW's Autumn Faerie
Medium Project: Resume work on The Sweetheart Tree's Holly and Hearts Sampler.

SURFACE EMBROIDERY: Continue work on Encrusted Crazy Quilt Square, mastering the boullion stitch. The aim is to get in at least one hour a week.


SEWING PROJECTS:Finish-finish ornaments to date and stitch up two larger projects from the finishing basket.

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
