2020 Updates - Week 1&2

How is it January 12th already???

Since January 1st I have been working on my Let it Snow from Barbara Anna Designs

I haven't stopped working on this since, and finished it Saturday night (11th)...
YES! My first Finish of 2020

Saturday after I finished Let It Snow, I started my January Ornament.  This month I am doing Moose Joy from the JCS Xmas '19 issue.
I picked a random 32ct linen small and thread I had on hand, and finished this up on Sunday afternoon.
YES! 2nd finish of 2020

Plans/Goals update
Starting Let is snow was #1 on the January list, so that can have a check mark!
Stitching an ornament was #2, so that can also have a check mark!

I have also decided to add a SAL for the year.  I have LOVED everything from Peppermint Purple I have stitched, so when she came out with a 52 week SAL how could I resist!

I started mine Sunday afternoon after the ornament, and got the first 2 weeks done.  I plan to keep up with these each week

January 2020 Plans

I have been worried about making goals for my stitching lately.
2019 wasn't the greatest year that that carried into my stitching as well.

Back in 2018 making plans each month really helped motivate me though, so I'm going to try and re-start that this year.

January 2020 Plans

• Start Let it Snow - SAL with Dani, Christin, Kathy, Becca
• Stitch an ornament
• Stitch on First saying block (Technically part 2) on Words to live by
• Make progress on one of my older WIPS - Canada Sampler or Tapestry
• RESIST STARTING ALL THE THINGS!

2020 New Start - Let it Snow

No stitching on Tuesday, and I travelled to Whitby to the closest Ikea Pick up point.  Unfortunately, the closest store is over an hour away.
I have been wanting to get some Kallax units for the living room for a while.  I finally saved some money, and then I needed new glasses...
So I managed to do it again and jumped on it, before something else came up.
Once my stitching area is all set up again, I will share pics

Thursday I worked on my Blackwork Tangram again.  Wasn't that done you are asking?... well yes, but I decided to add a border to it

Called for DMC, border made by me, from another PP design

Saturday was the annual Busker Festival in my town.  I spent a few hours taking it all in.  It was also World Wide Knit in Public Day, so I joined in while I people watched.
Saturday afternoon I went to visit a friend, Kathy.  While there I worked on my July Year in Chalk.

Sunday, after my 2nd knitting class, I continued to work on July year in Chalk.. It was a slow day, but am almost done!
