Assessing February Goals, Setting March Goals

FEBRUARY GOALS: Even though I have occasionally broken my own pattern, rotation stitching is working for me.


Monday: Jacobean Elegance Afghan [Re-started]
Tuesday: Prairie Schooler Year Round: February  [DONE], Sean's Name Tree ornament from M Designs [ re-started] and Sandi's Sweet Shop in The Town Square series [Kitted up but not started].  Also, finish the Mint Tea Towel from last month's rotation [DONE].
Wednesday:   Workbasket's Quaker Owl  [DONE] and Bat [Not Done]
Thursday:  Finish Mystic Smalls Tuffet and resume work on Victoria Sampler's Sturbridge Box. [Not Done]
Friday: Sewing Finishes  [Not yet.]
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.  The weather has been far too cold with temperatures in the single digits and the wind chill bringing the real feel down to 10 or 25 below.  The only excursions this month have been the essential appointments to doctors ... and, oh yes, and much needed haircut.  Otherwise, I have happily settled in my cozy stitching chair for hours at a time, either stitching or reading.
Monthly Stitching: February entry from the Prairie Schooler Year Round leaflet  [DONE] and one more Town Square ornament.  These will be my smalls for all the Tuesdays this month.  

MARCH GOALS:  I'll be continuing much the same rotation.
Monday: Jacobean Elegance Afghan
Tuesday: Prairie Schooler Year Round: March, Sean's Name Tree ornament from M Designs and Sandi's Sweet Shop in The Town Square series.
Wednesday:   Workbasket's Quaker Bat.  Workbasket's  Quaker Squirrel.
Thursday:  Finish Mystic Smalls Tuffet and resume work on Victoria Sampler's Sturbridge Box.
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.
Monthly Stitching: March entry from the Prairie Schooler Year Round leaflet  and one more Town Square ornament.  These will be my smalls for all the Tuesdays this month.  In the unlikely event I finish both before month's end, I'll pull my Fertile Circles Needle Book from the UFO basket.

I just cannot get myself to stick to a rotation or schedule of stitching. You are so good at that!

I can't stick to a rotation schedule either. But I also notice that when I jump around all my projects and hardly ever get anything finished! I'm beginning to think I enjoy the process rather than the finished object? Maybe I should start a rotation with fewer projects. So far, there are 20 stitching and three knitting projects in the stream... I admire your commitment.

Wishing you well with your March plans.
The afghan looks superb.
