April Achievements and May Goals

Plans for April

Evidence of the below can be seen with updated WIP pics here:
  • Stitch on Plum Pudding from 1st - 7th April as part of my SAL with Nic - Done!
  • Continue stitching on Golden Daisy goldwork project - Done, though only managed a bit of chipwork
  • Stitch and finish my April freebie project for Operation Threadporn - Done - two freebie projects completed!
  • Stitch the April Hardanger square for Operation Threadporn - Done!
  • Complete Block 2 of Box of Delights - Done!
  • Complete parts 5 to 8 of Confetti of Hardanger - Done - Parts 1 to 9 complete!
 
And just for fun, here is how all that looks in a pie chart a la Jo :)
 
Days spent stitching in April
8 days passed with no stitching!
 
 
May Goals
  • Complete Block 3 of Box of Delights (outlines already completed)
  • Stitch on Plum Pudding from 1st - 7th May as part of my SAL with Nic
  • Continue stitching on Golden Daisy - aiming to work on it at least once a week instead of the few hours I've put into it in two months!
  • Complete parts 10 - 14 of Confetti of Hardanger
  • Jodyri Butterfly - Complete at least the first two lines of text
  • Stitch the May Hardanger square for Operation Threadporn
  • Stitch and finish my Operation Threadporn freebie project for the month by Le Chalet des Perelles
  • If I feel the need for a new start, pick from one that is fully kitted from this list
 
A big thank you to everyone that stops by my blog and especially to those who comment, I try and reply to everyone via email.  If you haven't received a reply, it's probably due to the fact that you are a no reply blogger (which you can change if you want to), I just wanted you to know that I appreciate all of your comments too (I know where to track most of you down lol)!
 
 
Happy Stitching!

  2. All your wips are beautiful, Amanda! I had a look at your "upcoming" list...wow! Those are very pretty patterns. I can't wait to see them stitched!
    But...what's this? 8 days with no stitching.?????

  3. Congrats on meeting your April goals and good luck in May! I tried to change my status as a no-reply blogger, although with my Google + I don't think that link applies to me. I couldn't find the same things she mentioned anyway. I'm impressed at how organized you are, pie charts and everything!

  4. Tiff I forgot to say that Google+ does muck up the whole no reply thing, I have no idea how to fix it! I don't really use Google+ though people add me to their circles lol! I know where to find you though :)!

    1. :) That's good. I tried to play with my settings, but I have no idea if it fixed it.

  5. As always very beautiful work and very inspiring as well Amanda. Next year I will have a threadporn challenge myself but I have just subscribed to Jodyri threads and fabrics and want a few speciality threads from which to work.
    It's not a race I know, but you are such a quick stitcher. You will have to teach embroidery one day, I am sure you would have lots of happy adult students! It takes ma all my time to settle down to stitch as retired hubby and dog take my time up, and I love that as well.
    I don't know how to enable replies so I won't try. You have inspired me to go back to my blogs. I watched your last video and although it's sad that you won't be seen there, I do understand your decision.
    Hugs.

    1. I had to reply to your comment Sara, thank you for your sweet words! You never know, I might turn up on YouTube again, maybe in the Summer when I have a few proper finishes to show :). You won't regret your Jodyri Thread subscription - I have just about all of them and love each and everyone! As much as I love all my threads, I have come to realise there is even greater joy in actually USING them lol!

  6. Nice pie chart LOL

    I cannot imagine a day without stitching, even if it's just a few stitches at the very end of the day.

  8. I have my no-stitching days and after a few of them I get so cranky and short-tempered I can actually tell; I need to take care of myself by making time to have fun, and produce endorphins. :D
    you sure got a lot just by crossing out all that stuff on your goals-list, great job there!
