Stitching Goals

Yippee! Today was the last day of term and I am on holidays for the next sixteen days. Having only managed 4 posts this month, I am determined to get back my blogging and stitching motivation again during this time.

This afternoon I tidied up my sewing room so there is no excuse for not getting stuck into some serious stitching tomorrow. Oliver decided to supervise my tidying from the top of one of my stash cupboards - I know its a yucky old picture (terrible light) but it was this or nothing!



Moments after this photo was taken, he suddenly jumped down, using my head as a step between the cupboard and the floor - ouch! The plastic crate full of wadding, which he is sitting on, followed him to the floor - just missing me! (and the camera!) Just as well he's so cute!

My stitching priorities for the holidays are as follows:

1. Work on my Pay It Forward Gifts for Stina, Peg and Catherine.

2. Complete a Christmas tree ornament for Kimberly. (A while ago I joined a Christmas in July Ornament Swap at Sarah's Crafty Nook.)

3. Work on my Material Girls Christmas in July swap project.

4. Quilt and bind my redwork version of Rose's tablerunner.

Will keep you posted as to my progress - any will be an improvement on the last couple of weeks! Have a mini quilt shop hop planned for tomorrow morning - will let you know what I get up to soon.

  8. Happy Holidays! Hope you get lots of sewing and stitching done.
    Oliver reminds me of my old cat Joris. He always wanted to be with me while working and I had to put him on top of a bookcase. I sometimes forgot he was sitting there and left the house... He was not able to jump of the bookcase... pour guy!

  9. Oliver looks so great up there - but ouch on the path back down. My Habibi would love to be that high too, but I doubt he's be able to leap that high anymore with all that extra weight he's packing.
