March Plans and a Finish!

I like to set stitching "goals" at the start of each month, that way I can tailor them to my particular stitching tastes at the time, as well as making them achievable for that particular month if I know I will have less stitching time.  Past experience has taught me that yearly goals don't work for me, as soon as I say x/y/z has to be done by such and such a date, I instantly loose the desire to stitch on that piece :).

I'm trying to have a more laid back approach to my stitching this year, so if things on this list don't get done, it's no big deal - I just like lists!

March Plans

• Start and stitch on Plum Pudding by Glendon Place from 1st -7th March as part of my SAL with Nic
• Start a project using a technique that is new to me (very excited about this!)
• Stitch and finish my March freebie project for Operation Threadporn, something from La Comtesse
• Stitch the March Hardanger square from Songs of the Weather SAL by Mabel Figworthy

Those are the priorities, if they are done than one or more of the following could be started:

• Butterfly Quote by Jodyri Designs
• Butterfly Garden by The Drawn Thread
• Emma and Eliza in the Garden by Just Nan
• Confetti of Hardanger by Bee's Needleworks (Abi Gurden)

So we'll see how that goes.......

Today saw the release of the final part of Les Dentelles SAL, as I was home today I made sure I had everything ready to go last night so that I could stitch and finish the piece today:


Hard to get a good photo with neutral on neutral tones!

I really enjoyed stitching this piece and I love the way my colour combination turned out.  Esther's designs are beautiful, so if you are a fan of blackwork and enjoy choosing your own colours I would definitely recommend her Etsy Shop!

 

Hopefully my next post will be an Operation Threadporn report for February..........

 

Happy Stitching!
