My Goals for December

Here it is, the final goal setting for 2023!!! Let’s keep it simple, being that crazy time of the year.

ONE MONTHLY GOAL

As I would like it completed before Christmas, my goal will be to turn my stitched Sashiko panel into a wall hanging.  I think I will just find a backing, bag it out with no binding, add a hanging sleeve and do some simple quilting to hold it together.  There is a bit of bling to add to it.  I’ll see how I go with that.  I have found a suitable hanger in my stash, so this should not take too long……that’s the theory anyway.

I’m linking up with Stories from my Sewing Room.

RAINBOW SCRAP CHALLENGE

I’m still on my little break and looking forward to getting back into it next year.

KNITTING AND CROCHET PROJECTS

I need to finish off my lacy coathangers.  Once again, it shouldn’t take too long…….once I start.

I am guessing that there will be a little more progress on my Spiked Granny Square Rug, as it is something easy to pick up for a few minutes.

HAND STITCHING

Our Friday Stitch and Chat group has now finished until the start of February, so that incentive to do handwork is not there at the moment.  However, our Wednesday Patchwork Group will continue to meet each week except for between Christmas and New Year, so I will continue to take some stitching along.  I would like to finish the “What Sweet Delight” stitchery, but it is not high on the priority list.

USE MONIQUE

I have another small quilt ready to load on her, so I do really wish to have it completed this month.

WIP/UFO

A few of the above projects fall into theses categories. 

FINISH SOMETHING

I jolly well hope so!  Quite a few things!

15 MINUTES A DAY

Yes, this is also a priority, as I have done quite well at keeping up with it.  There may be a day or two that miss out, but it is to be expected. 

OTHER GOALS

READ A BOOK

I slipped up on this last month. My report card would read “Janice needs to do better.”  I’m looking forward to getting lost in a book at some stage this month.

TRY A NEW RECIPE OR REVISIT AN OLD ONE

I’ve also been slipping up on this.  I’ll see what I can find. 

HAVE A FUN DAY OUT

Nothing specific planned, other than Christmas, so we will see what transpires.

GO AWAY IN THE CARAVAN

There are no plans at this stage.  It is too busy to be travelling and the garden needs attention at this time of year, so we prefer to stay home.

KEEP MY BLOG UP TO DATE

Wish me luck.  I will try.
