September Stitching

August Progress

For most of the month I didn't feel like working on this project. During the final week I decided to pull it out and stitch for 8 hours while watching movies and met my monthly goal. I'm glad I did since I finally finished one more section of the chart and moved onto a new one.

July Update

Here's a progress photo for July with Koko inspecting my fabric.

Updates for March and April

My skin allergies returned with the warm weather in April and the constant rain in March gave me so many sinus headaches that I didn't make much progress. Hopefully this month I will move on to a new page of the pattern.

Here is my progress after 2 hours and then at the end of the month after approximately 10 hours.

Tonight I stitched for 2 hours since I decided to work on Kitty Cottage yesterday. I had a nice time. I watched I'm a Celebrity and The Apprentice while stitching. Outside it has started snowing.

I really wonder how much I can get done stitching 2 hours a week. That would be 104 hours in a year.

This week I had a sinus headache from the wind on Wednesday. I stitched for a while in the afternoon when I was feeling better but only for about an hour. Then later I stitched for another 40 minutes or so when I couldn't sleep. I need to put in another 20 minutes or so to have a full 2 hours stitching time on it this week.

I think it's going to be important to put in the 2 hours each week to see progress. There isn't much at this point in the pattern that you could work on as a goal. It's just a mish-mash of green leaves and yellow blossoms that are not distinct so I can't say I'll finish this flower or this bird like I can with other projects.

Edited to add I went back and worked on it while watching Scrubs and put in the 20 minutes plus some.

I wasn't going to photograph this but since I went ahead and did so for the SBQ I might as well put a copy here.

Started!

I put the first couple of hours in on Tuesday while watching Scrubs episodes. At the end of the day it looks like I've barely started. I think I definitely want to put in at least 8 hours a month on this so I see some progress. I couldn't work on it Wednesday because I have to finish my winter house exchange but I'm looking forward to next week.

Happy New Year!

I am excited to be starting this project today. Last night I made a working copy of one section of this huge chart so I can start marking off my progress.

I think I am going to put this piece into my rotation on Wednesdays after this week. I'd like to put in 8 hours a month on this one just like my UFO goal and I have the day off on Wednesdays.
