Goals progress - February

Hello friends. 

I've decided to try and do a monthly goals update so I can try and achieve them. You can see the goals on the tab above. 

So on to the progress. I've worked on the following: 

Scandi heart - and I've finished it too! The design is from an old cross stitcher mag and stitched with dinky dyes thread - Aussie dreams. 

I met my friend Caroline who it was for and she loved it! I call her the queen of hearts as she is always stitching hearts into things and that's what Cross Stitcher had called this design! 

Winter swap - I won't share any pics but I'm making great progress, the top of the biscornu is done, I'm waiting on fabric to do the bottom. I've almost finished a Snowflower Diaries design for the second stitched piece. The blanket is coming on well and I've laid out the felt book and designed a brooch too. I'm happy with all that. 

I've finished one of the RAKs and kitted up a third so this is going ok too. I'll post pics when people have received them. 

I've been making some paper embroidery cards too. 

I've stitched some and got several ready to stitch. Some will be Easter cards too. I just need to make them up. 

So all in all I'm pleased with my progress after 1 month. I'm hoping to finish the winter swap, the RAKs and do some work on Plum Street over the next month. 

Wish me luck 

2016 Goals

Hello all,
I didn't do too well with my 2015 goals - I did a bit on the quilt,  the Autumn swap, the blackwork star and one baby blanket, so with that less than stellar achievement behind me on to 2016...

I thought 2015 was a small list 2016 is even shorter.

WIP's

• Progress on the anchor sampler

• Finish Scandi heart

•  Winter swap - 2 stitches, crochet something and a couple of small bits - no pics as its a secret - Shhhhhhh!

• Blackwork four seasons sampler

• Plum Street Samplers - 12 days of Christmas 

• Hexagon quilt progress 

New starts 

• Blackwork Bird Song

• 1 birthday card a month - probably some prick and stitch ones

• 1 new feltie design a month - templates made, just making to do.

•  Fabric box

I'm hoping that is actually achievable, I've really had to be strict. I'll still be taking part in the travelling boxes and there are also birthdays too so with all that I might have a finish for me at the end too.
