November's Aspirations..

The first day of the month, oh my goodness how fast is this year whizzing by?

Time to make plans.

∘◦❀◦∘

1) Try a new recipe and share if it's good.

I also need to investigate the possible tweaks to last month's new recipe and share that.

2) Finish the Down in the Garden Quilt.

That will depend very much on whether engineer Peter can coax my Janome quilter into behaving herself just long enough to finish the quilting.  She came home the other day, working fine as a free motion quilter on the table. We popped her back onto the frame, she quilted two rows beautifully, then at the start of the third row it all went pear shaped again. 😠

3)  Progress Lest We Forget.

This one has been around for long enough. It was on last month's list, but I didn't touch it. Time to make good progress.

4) Complete at least one flower a week on Bring Me Flowers.

The smaller flowers will be easy, maybe I should say two of those or one larger flower.  I'll see how it goes. I also would like to take them along to Embroidery club.


5) Continue to work away at Winter Fairy Cross stitch.

Progress was made in October, but the Windswept Santa kinda got in the way.
Maybe I should think about setting some boundaries?

6) Continue to stitch on Windswept Santa.

He is quite a big piece and I know he can't be completed for this Christmas, so no rush, but it would be good to pick away at him.

7) Continue working through my mini cross stitch stash.

Those little kits are handy for taking to work and filling in my lunch breaks.

8) Complete the Scrappy Placemats.




They shouldn't take too much effort. I'll need two franken batts. The backing fabric is already sorted and also the binding. I could have them done in a short time.

9). Make another scrappy quilt top.

Maybe I'll finally get to some of those pre made blocks that came in the paper sacks, or maybe something else will get my attention. Whatever happens, a scrappy top will be born.
I hope.

10)  Try not to be distracted by squirrels!

😂😂😂

Yeah right! 

That's the plan.
I wonder how I'll go? 

What are you planning?
