Sunday Summary #157

I did have a plan for the week, but studio time and needing to take D to the hospital for tests took precedence.

I came home in the middle of the night Saturday/Sunday through a heavy snowfall. I had to be home since DH had friends coming over to watch the Super Bowl and one of the guests is working with me on some Grant Writing for the Golf Club. It was a busy day on Sunday so I’m still playing catch up from being away 😉

My Last To-Do Goals:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and leader/ender projects. No real progress but I am enjoying the hand stitching. 😢

2. Get caught up with the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL hosted by Sandra Walker from MMM Quilts. My fabrics, pattern and blocks are back out, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten 😢

3. Allow myself to keep playing on a couple of projects from the boxes of treasures I received from Denise as my leader/ender projects. I have been making progress.😁

4. Try to finish my project for an upcoming blog hop;

5. Get caught up on this year’s SAHRR. Time did not allow this week.

6. Work on/finish my pattern test. It’s coming along! 😁

7. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿 Samantha got me again, but it was because I was at the studio with D.😂

This Week’s goals:

I only have 5 meetings scheduled this week and two days of teaching at my Guild, so it should be a good week on the sewing front! 😁

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and embroidery sampler as time allows.

2. Get caught up with the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL hosted by Sandra Walker from MMM Quilts.

3. Keep working on a couple of projects from the boxes of treasures I received from Denise as my leader/ender projects.

4. Try to finish my project for an upcoming blog hop;

5. Get caught up with the rounds for the SAHRR.

6. Finish my pattern test.

7. Work on my newest squirrel projects:

8. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿

Stitchin’ Time

Kate from Life in Pieces hosts a weekly linky party to help us keep to our goals of stitching every day.

I’m trying for at least 30 minutes a day this year and 1 hour at the end of the week to tidy up and deal with my scraps. I’m not really off to a good start, but it should get better as things settle down in my real life time and commitments lessen. 🤔

• January 21/31
• February 8/29
• this week 7/7
• Previous Total 22/365
• Total: 29/60
• Percentage = 48.3 %

I hope you all get to set and keep your goals for your Stitchng Time and join Kate. 😁

Stash Report

I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash.

• Fabric Used: 8 yards
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 95 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 0 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 87 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 100 yards this year. I haven’t managed to actually figure out how much fabric I really have in my stash, but I have reduced my stash these past few years and really only purchase fabric if I need it for a particular project. If I do purchase fabric I add it to my Balance in stash to use this year in order to continue reducing my stash. 😉

* any fabric used from the scrap bins, was gifted or a prize; doesn’t count as stash!
