Assessing February Progress, Setting March Goals


I am starting with a photo of the Ort Jar ... lots of blues, whites and pale greys/silvers ... all the icy colors of The Ice Dragon's Kingdom which dominated my stitching in February.


FEBRUARY GOALS:
BAP:
Continue work on TW's Autumn Faerie: worked on this only one day, Feb. 28. Not a lot of progress but just enough to qualify as a goal met.
Crazy January Challenge:
continue working on the 15 projects in chronological order, insofar as the back-ordered floss problem permits. DONE. Completed Day 1 project [Sue Hillis's Cookie Santa] on 2/3 and nearly finished the Day 2 project [Dragon Dreams' The Ice Dragon's Kingdom]
Sewing/Finishing: Get as close to the bottom of the finishing basket as possible. Nothing.
Surface Embroidery:
work several hours a week on Encrusted Crazy Quilt Block. Nothing.
WIPs &UFOs from 2010:
Continue work on Workbasket's Quaker Sampler, the Jacobean Elegance afghan, the Fertile Circles Needlebook and the Beach Find Pansies panel. Nothing.

Another of the reasons that I didn't get to any of my 2010 WIPs this past weekend was that I was indulging in one of my other pastimes, reading. J.D. Robb's latest entry in her ...In Death series hit the bookstores last Tuesday. I ordered Treachery In Death directly from the B&N website since it saved me approx $13 over buying in the store. It arrived on Thursday. So this weekend, several hours normally devoted to stitching were diverted to reading.


MARCH GOALS:
BAP: Continue work on TW's Autumn Faerie
Crazy January Challenge: Complete the Day 2 and Day 3 projects [Dragon Dream's The Ice Dragon's Kingdom and Homespun Elegance's The Stitcher respectively]
Sewing/Finishing: Get as close to the bottom of the finishing basket as possible.
Surface Embroidery: work two hours a week on Encrusted Crazy Quilt Block project.
WIPs & UFOs from 2010: Continue work on Workbasket's Quaker Sampler, the Jacobean Elegance afghan, the Fertile Circles Needlebook and the Beach Find Pansies panel.
