July goal report, set August goals

goals for July we
1) finish Spring Button-Up
2) work on MLI Angel of Spring (do sleeve, head and at least half of
wing)
3) finish crochet rug
4) finish braided rag rug
5) put at least 5 hours in on daughters' I Spy quilts
6) work on quilted wall hanging for hubby
report:
OK, I was a little too ambitious considering I am still recovering from
my pulmonary emboli in June.....I did get the Spring Button-up about 2/3
done, and did about 3/4 of the wings on the MLI Angel of Spring. I did work
on the crochet rug, but only got three rounds done. The braided rug was
braided and laced, but the last finishing bit didn't get done.....it didn't
turn out as well as I had hoped, so I'm thinking of undoing it and then
using the strips for a quilt top instead. I didn't do any work on the I Spy
quilts, but I did get started on the wall hanging, only to have the top
thread "nest" and knot all over the top (my first, and probably only,
attempt with clear nylon monofilament quilting thread) and the top panel got
ruined when I tried to remove the stitching...fortunately I was able to get
another panel of the top fabric and will be trying again with a different
thread on top.

so....August goals....
1) Finish Lizzie Kate's Spring Button-Up
2) face and sleeve on MLI Angel of Spring
3) 5 hours (or more) on I Spy quilts for daughters
4) wall hanging for hubby (deadline for Sept birthday?)
(boy, don't those look familiar? *grin*...oh, and I think I'll be starting
back at work half days around mid-month)

July Goals:
I was feeling really unfocused, so I decided to try to work a rotation
in hopes that setting this as a goal here would incline me to stick to
it.

Rotation One
FOCUS: 3 hours between each other project in the rotation: Ukranian
Openwork (EGA GCC) DONE
PROJECT #1: 5 hours: Triple Heart freebie (Ghosties and Goulies when
Triple Heart is done) DONE
FOCUS: 3 hours DONE
PROJECT #2: 5 hours: Silver Splendor (Tree Frog when Silver Splendor is
done) *here I switched courses entirely and started Green Man by
Witches Stitches for 5 hours. DONE
FOCUS: 3 hours DONE
PROJCT #3: 5 hours: Not Forgotten DONE

Rotation Two
FOCUS: 3 hours between each other project in the rotation: Ukranian
Openwork (EGA GCC) 45 minutes stitching, 30 minutes ripping, time to
move on. Grrr.
PROJECT #1: 5 hours: Ghosties and Goulies 3.5

I made it that far before getting further distracted by Green Man,
starting and finishing Jeweled Celtic Cross by Dracolair Designs (the
chart was a birthday gift), starting Printer Error by Kats by Kelly and,
finally, starting Love Will Keep Us Together by San Man Originals for a
wedding present.

Yes, in other words, I moved into screaming mode. =)

So... August:
Finish Love Will Keep Us Together by San Man Originals for the wedding
present.
Finish Printer Error by Kats by Kelly
Finish two bands on EGA GCC Ukranian Openwork
Purchase supplies for EGA GCC Drawn Thread Sampler 2.
Five hours on The Scarlet Unspoken by Dimples Designs.

I seem to do better with more concrete goals and it amazes me how much
motivation I get by posting my goals here.

1. Art Nouveau Peacock -- 20 hours -- I'd guess about 10.
2. Two Christmas ornaments -- four done!
3. If time, finish TW Fruit Bellpull border -- didn't touch it.

goals are 5 hours each on:

1. Stoney Creek Cape Ann Light
2. Barbara Thompson's Art Nouveau Peacock
3. Cross My Heart's Oliver
4. Teresa Wentzler's Fruit Bellpull
5. Teresa Wentzler's Peacock Tapestry
