I’m plugging away at my stitching and actually getting things done.
I’m calling the little reindeer quilt done and I’ve packed it away until Christmas comes again.
I’ve decided that this year's projects will be simple and done.
You will notice very minimal quilting lines, then it was tacked together in the corners.
Done!
I finished one ornament cross stitch.
And I’ve started another. I’m hoping to finish this one this week, then turn them both into ornaments. I’ll probably make them into little pillows, but I’ve been looking at different finishes that others are using. There are some incredibly talented people out there.
Shout out to Karen at Karen Quilts, etc. she mentioned this neck light and it has been a game changer for hand stitching. I think anyone over 40 needs one! Lol Great for reading, too!
My silly simple way of getting more done these days.
Many of you have fancy little planners with color coordinated stickers and markers. I find I am easily distracted and have plenty of plain notebooks around the house. Writing out each day’s goals helps me to stay focused.
Do you make lists?
Your projects are always just darling. I wish I had the patience for it - I used to - but not any more.
ReplyDeleteglad the neck light worked out for your! I have little note books and post a notes all over the place - I tried an expensive fancy planner one year and it was a waste of money for me.
ReplyDeleteI am always making lists, a good way to get things done.
ReplyDeleteYour reindeer quilt is as cute as a button, Penny . It will be such a joy to display it come Christmas time. I make my lists in notebooks as well. Have an awesome week.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish. I keep notes of what projects I want to finish each week, and then cross them off when I do.
ReplyDeleteThe reindeer are so darn cute. I love the dog in that first photo. Your other projects for Christmas are really nice. That lamp sounds very nice. I just have a pad of paper but I normally only make lists for trips and packing. However, I need to make daily lists and get things done around the house. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI must say I am not a list maker. =) Your reindeer will be a cheery sight come next Christmas. It is so very adorable.
ReplyDeleteYes, I’m a list maker too. It really helps to organize my day and ensures that all gets done. The reindeer quilt is so cute. 🥰
ReplyDeleteLove your projects Penny! You are always an inspiration to me. I am a list maker and have become a "planner girl" I think.... Can't live without my planner lately.
