More starts and at least one finish and some progress

Here it is the start of another week, and we did enjoy a couple of days of warmer weather but then the rain and cooler weather decided to come back.

I have been trying to continue to move a bunch of projects forward so we will see how things go in the next week. I would like to continue to move a bunch of things forward so we will see how things go.

Post Office - Mill Hill - here is a project that I decided to try to try and move forward a little bit this week. When I first picked this piece up, I added one thread just to get a bit of a start.

This week I decided to see if I could at least, make some progress on this piece and I picked it up for one day and my goal was to just see how much of it I could get done. I am happy with the progress and hopefully I will be able to continue to move this piece forward but I am not certain how quickly I will be able to move things forward, so we will see how things go. It would be nice to see that I have been able to continue to move this piece forward.

Vintage ABC's ornaments - A - here is a project that I decided that I wanted to work on and it was so nice to see that I was able to pick up this piece and also get it completed. 

This isn't a very large piece, so that makes me feel a little better about things. Just seeing that I have been able to continue to get at least one of the pieces completed. I know that being able to continue to get things achieved so we will see how things go. I am currently trying to figure out how to get all the 26 letters completed so now to figure out how I am going to get all these pieces completed.

I am going to try and see how to move these pieces completed and we will see how things go. I think I have an idea of how to get these pieces done but we will see how things go.

Stained Glass Orca - this is another project that I started this week, and I know that it is going to take quite a bit of time to move it forward. I am someone that love Orca's so when I saw this pattern on a FlossTube video I needed to stop the video and immediately went and checked out the pattern and of course I purchased it. I know that it isn't going to be a project that get a lot of progress quickly, but I know it is something that I am going to be working on over the next while.

Serpentine Pavillion Shawl - here is a project that I purchased a bundle of pattern from Helen Stewart without knowing what the patterns were going to be like.

This is the first of six patterns that are going to be released under the Shawl Society #6, and it didn't take me long before I figured out the yarn that I wanted to use for this project. It is something that I am going to be working so we will see how things go. Of course, this project has cable in it and that is something that I have always found a challenge but this time I decided to use a different cable needle with a bend in it and it seems to be working a little better.

It makes me feel good seeing that I have been able to move this project forward and I hope that through the next few days I can continue to get this project closed to a finish instead of just a new start.

Sophie Scarf - this is a project that I decided to start with some of the yarn that was leftover from the Hedgerow Shawl. I figured it would be great to see if I could at least get another project completed with some of the yarn that was left. This is a very simple scarf that isn't going to be very large but at least I have been able to get it to just over the 50% completed and that makes me feel good.

Button Box Throw - this is a project that I continue to move on as it makes me happy when I can see some progress on it. This week I was able to get one section completed and have also started to work on another section so that makes me happy.

This is a project that I pick up and work on when I just need to work on something but don't need to complete a row or any other part of a pattern. I would like to see if I can continue to get things achieved so we will see how things go moving forward.

Other projects - I didn't work on any other project this week and given the number of projects I did work on I'm not surprised. 

This coming week I hope to be able to focus on moving some of these projects forward and we will see how it goes. I know that I have been enjoying working on the smaller cross stitch projects so we will see what happens this week. I am going to see if I can get more of the scarf and shawl done over the coming week so we will see how it goes.

Finding that bit of time each day to do something that you love is very important. Being able to recharge your personal battery helps you deal with everything going on around you a little easier. I hope everyone has a good week and you do things that you enjoy. If things go well, I should have some progress to show you next week on at least a couple of these projects.
