Here it is the start of another week so that means it is time to see what I have been able to achieve and deal with the things that have been doing on around us here.
The weather continues to be a roller coaster as we have one day where we are nice and warm and then the next day, we need the long sleeves and a heavier jacket. It makes it difficult to manage everything but at least we have been able to move a lot of things forward even with being cooler during the day.
Peppermint Pressie - here is the first project that I decided to work on as my goal was to try and get it finished so that I am closer to getting the ornaments that I want stitched completed. It does feel good seeing that I have been able to at least continue to move these ornaments forward.
So, this week I was able to get this design completed and it makes me happy to know that I have been able to continue to get things accomplished. This project isn't very large so that means that I am able to continue to move it forward and see it completed before too long. I do love the beads that I am using for the berries because it was to be just one colour for one stitch in each of these sections. It felt like it would be nicer to have some beads on this piece so that is what I decided to do. Both Peppermint Pressie and Festive Fox have the beads and that makes me so much happier.
Festive Fox - here is a piece that I started this week and have been working on moving it forward. This is the third time I have stitched this piece, and I am looking forward to getting it finished. Being able to see that I have been able to continue to move this piece forward feels good. Once this piece is finished, I will have one more ornament to stitch in this series and it is Peppermint Pressie, so I am getting close to having these ornaments stitched and ready to be finished as ornaments before Christmas 2026.
Vintage ABC's - H - here is the next ornament that I started in this series and it makes me happy to see how much of it I have been able to complete. I haven't been able to focus on this project very much this past week but at least I have been able to make some progress on it so that is what matters. Hopefully this coming week I can continue to move it forward and maybe even get it finished.
Sophie Scarf - this week I decided to try and work on another Sophie Scarf, and it has felt good being that i have been able to at least move this project forward a little bit. This scarf is very easy to work on as long as you remember what row you are on. It is just 8 rows and the only row that is different is the 8th row so something that you can move forward relatively quickly if you can remember to focus on your counting.
I have been enjoying working on this shawl because I know that it doesn't take a long time to get it knit so that is going to be a project that I try and continue to move forward this coming week. Just knowing that this is a project that I don't need to really look at the pattern other than at the beginning, very middle and then the end means I can just pick it up and work on it and see that it is moving forward.
Serpentine Pavillion Shawl - this is the project that I had hoped to be able to move forward quite a bit this week, but I only was able to achieve just one more cable section completed. I understand that I was focusing on some of the other projects so know that just being able to continue to move the other projects forward does help.
This coming week I would like to see that I have been able to move this project forward because know that it is getting closer to a finish would make me happy. I thought I would have been further along than I am, but I am not being to stress about it, and I know that this week I will try and see how much of it I can get done.
Other projects - well, I have picked up my EPP projects and am happy with the progress that I have been able to make this last week. I might not achieve a lot of goals but at least I am finally seeing some progress on at least one of my projects. I am looking forward to being able to show my progress on my EPP projects at the end of the month.
I hope everyone is finding that bit of time each day to do something that helps you recharge your personal battery. It doesn't matter what it is as long as you can sit and do something that you enjoy. For me my crafting is my time to recharge so being able to move the various projects forward makes me feel good.
This coming week there are a few things that I need to get done and then I will see what crafting I can get done. I have a few little goals that I would like to achieve but I am not going to post them here because I don't want the pressure that I would feel to achieve them.
If things go well this coming week, I should have some more progress to show you next Monday. I am haven't figured out the projects that will get my attention, but I do know that I am going to work on moving things closer to a finish. Have a good week and remember do something each day that makes you happy.
