Moving projects forward and a finish

It is hard to believe that another week has come and gone already. Time is really moving quickly and hopefully I will be able to make progress on things.

This past week I was able to find some time to work on projects so that was good. Now to see how this week goes as I would like to maybe move some other projects forward.

Junos Garden - here is the project that I got finished early this past week. I didn't have a lot of it to do so it was time to get the remaining stitches in and get another project finished which makes me very happy.

This project was fun to work on, and I am happy that I picked it up and got it done. I am going to have to figure out how I am going to finish this project.

Half the Fun - here is a project that hasn't been touched since June 2024, so it was time to give this project some much needed attention. I am using variegated floss for this piece so it is basically another monochromatic project, so it was nice to pick it up when I had that bit of time to just sit and work on it.

I started this project in March 2024 and then only worked on it a little bit after that trip and then it was put down and I just never picked it up because there was always something else that I wanted to work on so this project has just sat waiting it's turn to come back out and get some much needed attention. We will see how things go as it would be nice to continue working on this piece and maybe get it closer to a finish in 2026.

This project is fun to work on because sometimes when you are working on a section you aren't quite sure what you are stitching until to look at it from a bit of a distance and then you know what it is.

Snowflake - here is a start on another snowflake ornament that I want to do this year. I have been feeling the urge to start things, so I picked up this project and started it on Saturday.  It shouldn't take me long to get this project finished if I could focus on it.

I am not certain but startitist might be happening because I have so many small projects that I would like to do and over the last couple of days I have wanted to start a bunch of them. I guess we will see how this week goes.

Hedgerow Shawl - this project has been getting some attention but not as much attention as I would have liked to give it. Part of the reason it hasn't got much attention is there are times when I need to focus on the rows and I just haven't set aside the time to do that, so the shawl doesn't move forward very much.

I am loving how the shawl looks so hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can give this shawl some more attention and I will get it closer to a finish. I think I might have around 35 rows to go on the shawl so just sitting and working on it would help me get it finished. 

It is rather difficult to take a picture of it given how large it is getting so getting it finished would be nice so that I can actually see what it looks like.

Button Box Throw - here is the scrap throw that I have been working on. It has been a lot of fun to work on and was a great project when I was attending a virtual conference on Thursday. I was able to work on this throw while watching the sessions and it helped me focus on the sessions and not want to pick up the mouse and on my other monitor be checking a bunch of other stuff.

It is always nice when you can find a project that you can have around to work on when you need something to keep your hands busy while you are attending a virtual conference.

Other projects - I haven't worked on any other projects this past week but given the number of things that got my attention I am happy there isn't more. I am not certain what this week has in store with regards to projects because I have the urge to start a bunch of small projects so we will see what happens.

I hope everyone is finding the time each day to do something that you enjoy even for a few minutes. It can be a challenge to find lots of time but at least those few minutes can make a bit difference.

This coming week I am going to try and work on Hedgerow Shawl some more as well as Button Box Throw and there will be some cross stitch getting some attention but right now not certain that the project is going to be. I guess all I can say is I have some projects that want my attention so we will see how this week goes and what ends up getting moved forward.

Hope everyone has a good week and we will see next Monday what got my attention and what didn't. Have a good week and remember, even those few minutes a day helps recharge your personal battery.
