End of November.

 EEK!
Where did the year go?
I didn't set myself much in the way of goals this month, let's have a look at them.

1) Complete my final Chookshed challenge. If you remember it was set aside so that I could focus on the wedding dresses.

I'm happy to say the stitching is complete and they are sat here by my chair awaiting some final touches.

2) Complete the Happily Ever After cross stitch.

Done, framed and gifted to the happy couple.

3)  Complete the Ready Set Sew quilt.

Done.

A very happy quilt.

4) Get back to my Windswept blocks.

I completed the last few B blocks and made a start on C.

I think I have about two thirds of them made. I'm hoping to get time to make more today. 

5) Prepare fabric and paper pieces for my next EPP.

Well the fabric is pulled from stash but I didn't start cutting yet.

I'm calling it done as I did prepare fabric.

No rush as I still have work to do on my Blue lanterns. 

That's it, those were the goals I set.

Of course me being me, I chased a squirrel or two along the way. LOL

Lets take a look at the unplanned progress. 

The Flutterby Bunny was quilted and bound.

I love this one. It might be difficult to part with when the time comes. 

I completed an adopted cross stitch piece.

There really wasn't much to do on this piece, all of the critters had been stitched and enough of the floral border to enable me to copy it. The hardest part was sorting the threads from my stash as no chart or legend came with it. 

I'm happy to say it is framed and waiting for Mr H to add a hanging cord.

And finally I made a new start.

Winter Fairy won the battle to become my new cross stitch project.

At 16.8 x 15.4 inches and full coverage she might take me a while to complete. But that's ok. 

I've enjoyed what I have done so far.

And found a friend to keep me company while I stitch. 

Today is the last of my rostered three days off this week. My house and garden chores are all up to date so I plan to spend some time turning the completed Christmas mini stitches into Christmas Ornaments and spending some time sewing some Windswept blocks. Then later I'll get back to the Winter Fairy.

We finally have some official wedding photos.

A better view of my boys in their kilts. I do like to see a man in a kilt, but a Grandson in a kilt trumps them all. 

And the Happy Couple.

That's it. That was my November.

I wonder what December will bring?

I'll have a think about possible goals today, while I sew.
