Making progress slowly

Here it is the start of another week, and I do have some progress to show from the last week. It is a bit all over but at least most days I was able to find a little bit of time to work on things which does make me happy.

This week I hope to be able to spend a bit more time working on the various projects because I think that would make me happy. If I could focus on a couple of projects, I might see some good progress on them but only time will tell.

This last week was a very difficult week for us as it was the week of the funeral for my mom. That meant that there were things that needed to be done for that as well as I just needed time for myself, and I did take that.

Let Flowers Grow - this project didn't get a lot of time this week as I just couldn't seem to focus on it. I was able to spend a bit of time over this past weekend working on getting more of the design stitched and that does make me feel good.

This coming week I hope that I can continue to work on this piece as I would like to see how much of it I can get completed. Knowing that this piece is done would be great as I do have another project that I would like to work on for a while.

I am currently just over 45% completed on this project so that means that I need to focus on it for a little while and maybe I can get it done. I hope that this week I can at least make some progress on it. I would like to see if I can get this piece done by the end of the month but will have to see how things go.

Mini Sea Opal - here is a project that I haven't picked up for over 2 years, but I felt it was time to see if I could add a few stitches to it. This is a full coverage piece, and it is going to be around 18 inches square once it is finished. I am looking forward to seeing if I can spend some time working on this piece over the next while as well.

It was so nice to pull this piece out again because I wanted some of the brighter colours to work on and given this has a lot of blues and teals in it, I was very happy to get back to working on it. The first thing that I had to do was organize all the floss for this project because it was all just in the bag and not sorted like I normally have my threads.

I am not certain how much of this I will get done through the end of the year, but I am thinking that I might try and at least give it some more attention. For me just seeing that I have finally picked this piece up again makes me happy because it is one that I love and would like to see if I can get it finished.

I currently have four full coverage pieces that I would like to work on, so maybe next year I will try and make some progress on them. Of course, full coverage pieces do take quite a while to complete but they do take even longer when you don't work on them, and you just let them sit like I have been doing.

Little Meg Shawl - here is the knitting project that I have been focusing on. It has been so nice to see how much of it I could get done in this last week. I have been trying to work on this shawl a bit each day and I have been able to do that most days.

The rows are getting longer now so I can't get as many rows completed each day. Hopefully I can continue to move this project forward because I would like to see it finished so that I can wear it. Being able to see some good progress has been nice so I will see what I can get done this week.

Other projects - this past week I did pick up my English Paper Piecing for a little while and at least made a bit of progress on it.

Taking a bit of time each day to focus on something that I enjoy doing has been needed in the last while. I hope everyone else is remembering to take the time to do things that you enjoy most days.

I am not certain what this week is going to be like, but I do hope that I can find some time to do some crafting and maybe make some more progress on these projects. Hopefully, next week I will have some more progress to show you and until then have a good week.
