Sorry for not posting in awhile but life has been busy for me as I'm sure it has for most of you. Now it is November and time to turn our clocks back since Daylight Savings Time is ending in 45 minutes. Where DID time go. With thinking about where time went, it reminded me that I need to be a bit more structured so that I'm not wasting time and spinning my wheels.
When I first retired, I made lists and semi keep to them. It was good to look at the list to see what I had wanted to accomplish. I didn't get everything done but it was good to see all those check marks in the "finished" column. I've slacked off on that during COVID and realized that I need to get back on track. That is my goal for November...to get back on track.
With that in mind, what will be on my list?
I finished the test pattern that was due by November 9th so that can already be crossed off. The other things on the list are:
Le Fleur - I pieced together two 9 patch blocks that are the background for the applique. I have one fused on and probably tomorrow I will probably fuse on the second one. Then I will hand stitch them down.
Christmas in Jacksonville - I will keep working on the embroidered blocks. I'm not sure if I will do the pieced blocks. They are a log cabin/courthouse steps type block and while I like them something is telling me not to do them. If I don't do them, I will have to fill in with something else.
The House blocks for COVID - I need to applique trees on some blocks and then put them together.
Simple Yet Elegant - I am behind on my blocks but will keep working on them. I am almost finished with a third (out of four) center tulip block. I have been postponing doing one block. A bird block. I think I will do that one next just to make sure that it gets done. I have another block that is fused on that needs to get stitched also.
Finish a rail fence UFO. The top is done except that it has no borders. The pattern didn't call for it to have a border but I think that I will put one on. It's a smallish wall hanging so it could use a border.
Cook Thanksgiving dinner for Dan and I.
That's what my list looks like. Do you have a plan for November?
