NOVEMBER GOALS: I mentioned an odd slump in a post midway through the month, one in which I only wanted to stitch the most brainlessly simple pieces. It had its effect on November progress.
Christmas Gifts: Stitch a pair of tea towels, using the charts for Mint and Sage. No.
Current BAP: Work on Piper's stocking. No.
UFO/Class Project: Finally finish The English Band Sampler and then pick up work on The Mystic Smalls projects. No. though I did do a little work on the sampler.
Town Square SAL: Stitch The Sweet Shop or The Knit Shop. I stitched The Pet Store, Flocking To Knit and The Fishmonger's Shop.
New Start: Start The Dragon of the Summer Sky. This will be my last Dragon Dreams chart from stash, making the 6th chart of Jennifer's [not counting many, many freebies] that I have stitched. The next series that I will work on will be Workbasket's Quaker Animals. I have quite a few of those in stash. No. Instead, I stitched a much smaller piece, the Prairie Schooler November ornament [Turkey] from the Year Round leaflet.
Sewing Finishes: Try to get another three or four projects completed. I want to concentrate on gift totes and wall hangings this month. If I catch up on the totes and wall hangings, I'll move on to throw pillows. It all depends on how long my mood for finishing lasts. I got a real rush last month as I watched the finishes stack up.DECEMBER GOALS: Follow through on the plans for a rotation.
Monday: The English Band Sampler
Tuesday: Mint & Sage tea towels.
Wednesday: The Dragon of the Summer Sky
Thursday: Mystic Smalls
Friday: Sewing Finishes
Saturday & Sunday: get out of the stitching chair and do a wide variety of things: walk, exercise, antique, reorganize, put the garden to bed for the winter, feed and observe the backyard birds, read, visit friends and relatives, try a new restaurant, experiment with the recipes I have been downloading, host a high tea ... whatever.

Good goals! I've been downloading recipes myself for the past 6 months and I try a new one each week. We've hit some homeruns on most, but there has been a rare few strikes.
Good luck with your plans for his month.
My husband HATES new recipes, so... my cooking is very boring. Thus my lack of enthusiasm to cook. Hope that you stick to the plan this month, and end the year on a good note!
