Week 11 - a finish, a start, and a WIP

First up this week was finishing my ornament.

March 2018 Plans

Here are my plans for the month of March

1) ORNAMENT A MONTH

• Continue a start and finish on one part of the newest Tiny Tidings (xxii)
• I think I also have a plan for after the 5 are done... but more on that later...

2) YEAR IN CHALK

• Start and Finish April

3) FOCUS WIP

• Continue working on Cirque des Coeur (Ink Circles) - I should be able to get this one done in March!

4) SAL - Long Dog Samplers Mystery - Sneek

• Start and finish Part 1 (currently one part behind)

5) NEW START

• At March retreat, I will FINALLY be starting Death by Cross Stitch! Dani and I are starting together, as both of us have finished our BAP's :)

6) 2nd FOCUS WIP

• Fairy Alighting is on deck to become the focus piece once cirque is done

With work getting busier, this might be more of a challenge... but if I stitch a bit every day I should be good. The only plan I don't see getting finished is #4 - the SAL.  But if I don't finish part 1 its not a huge deal... I will just work on the rest of it in April with part 2.  I just don't' want to get toooo far behind :)
