It's June Already!

Today is officially June, and that means it's time to evaluate last month's goals and start thinking about this month.

May Goals:

1. Finish Stitching CCN's "A Place We Call Home" - Accomplished 5/6/08
2. Stitch and Finish Biscornu for MFC - Accomplished 5/15/08
3. Stitch Blocks 2-4 of PS 12 Days of Christmas - Accomplished 5/30/08
4. Start LHN's "Peach Tree Cottage" - Accomplished 5/31/08

I even managed to sneak in an extra project and get "Love and Faithfulness" from LHN/CC stitched up as well!

I got started on Peach Tree Cottage last night at 9 and stitched for about 15 minutes - long enough to constitute a start, but short enough to not have anything picture-worthy to show for it. I had a terrible headache last night and just couldn't stitch for long. But I give myself credit for pulling it all out to start so I could accomplish my final May goal.

Now for June Goals.

I'm hoping to get more accomplished this month and be a more focused stitcher than last month. So I'm giving myself more ambitious goals for June than I did for May.

My June Stitching Goals:

1. Finish Stitching LHN's "Peach Tree Cottage"
2. Stitch and Finish tin for MFC
3. Stitch LHN/CC's "Peace"
4. Stitch PS's "Peep"
5. Stitch Calico Crossroads "AmeriKat"
6. Stitch 2 PS "Santa Moon" designs
7. Stitch Blocks 5-6 of PS "12 Days"

Well I hate to leave you without a picture, so I leave you with this picture of Cuddle Bug cooking in his playhouse with a bucket on his head:


Thanks for reading! I so enjoy all of your lovely comments!!

Happy May Day!

Wow 2 posts in one day! Seeing as how it's May 1st - I figure I better get my May stitching goals together :)

I completed all my April goals and I hope to do the same for May!

1. Finish CCN's "A Place We Call Home"
2. Start and Finish biscornu for MFC
3. Start and Finish Blocks 2-4 of PS 12 Days of Christmas
4. Start LHN's "Peach Tree Cottage"

I have decided what I want to do for my biscornu for May's Monthly Finishing Challenge. I'm going to do the frog biscornu freebie from Casey Buonaugurio. DH's aunt collects frogs and I have been wanting to do this for her. I'm not sure if I will be doing the flower motif on the back or if I will do something else just yet. But in the meantime I've decided on my fabric and pulled the threads I will need for the frog motif on the front. This will get started as soon as "A Place We Call Home" is finished up.

Another Start - My First CCN

I put a few stitches in CCN's "A Place We Call Home" this evening. I didn't get much done, but it was enough to officially count as a "start" and knock off my last stitching goal for April. I love this design! It's so sweet and lovely. I'm hoping it will be as much fun to stitch as it is beautiful.


My April Stitching Goals Progress Report:

1. Finish "Thankful" freebie as a tin - Yes. I got it finished 4/3/08 and gifted it to my sister (no pics yet)
2. Start and Finish Needle Roll for MFC - Yes. My very first needle roll! Completed 4/15/08
3. Start and Finish "Have Faith" from Elizabeth's Designs - Yes. Completed 4/21/08
4. Start and Finish Block 1 of PS 12 Days of Christmas - Yes. Completed 4/23/08. That's not bad since I added the goal near the end of the month!
   
5. Start CCN's "A Place We Call Home" Yes. I started it 4/25/08

Since all my goals have been met, I'll be stitching on "A Place We Call Home" for the rest of the month and make finishing it my first May goal. I also can't wait to see what the MFC will be for May.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement!
