Note to Self: Do not go on a vacation that ends 2 days before school starts!
Unpacking from my beach vacation and starting back to school has been a complete whirlwind. In fact, I think I just washed the last of the beach towels because I have been so busy. But now, the kids are back in the school, the calendar is up to date, and the house is clean. I still have a few reorganizing projects to do, but the important ones (like the kids closets and pantry) are done.
Way back on August 1st, I woke up early and made my "To-Do" lists. One of those lists was my stitching goals for the month. The kids were going to be in school, so I would have more time to sew. Very ambitiously, I made a list of 18 stitching goals. (Insert laughing here!). How much have I gotten done so far? 4 blocks! I did spend a little time straightening my sewing space, but not much. Total days spent in the sewing room this month...1! (I haven't joined Kate at Life in Pieces in reporting days spent in the sewing room before, but it is now at 117 for the year.)
Fortunately, not having time to sew, also means not having time to shop. So my numbers remain unchanged. Many of the monthly goals involve quilting some tops, so I'm looking forward to having some finishes in the next few weeks now that life has settled back down.
This Week This Year
Used: 0.00 25.25
Purchased: 0.00 73.50
Net: 0.00 48.25
Until next time, enjoy your stitching and see how others are managing their stashes at Patchwork Times.
Blessings,
Joy :)
