OMG and Winter Wonders

Well, I looked at my goals list for 2025 this morning and sadly discovered that I'd not finished nearly as much as I would have like. In my defense, however, I did have a lot of fun exploring new art genres like making an altered book junk journal in which I took notes at our art conference and in which I'm continuing to make notes on the book Culture Care by Makoto Fujimura:

And I had a super nice day trying air-dry clay projects with my friend, Trish:

 So, I revised said list & printed it for easy reference and to be able to add to it:

I plan to hang it above my sewing machine in my newly organized and beautified craft room so hopefully it will help me stay on track better. 😄

So, here are my monthly and weekly goals:

Monthly quilt - Mug Guest Room Skinny Twin Size

I want to finish the borders on this and get it to a long-arm quilter. It's for a skinny Jenny Lind antique bed, so I don't have to make it very wide.

Monthly Hand-work - Everyday Embroidery and December Xstitch

I'm not going to have the goal of finishing the Everyday Embroidery this month, but I want to average 10 blocks a week for this month.

I'm very close to done with the December cross-stitch which I'll use as part of my monthly decor change-up, so I want to get it done this month for next year's use.

Week's Goals

Mug quilt - Get 'er done!

Everyday Embroidery - 8 blocks this week since I'm getting a late start

December Cross-stitch - Finish and put away

Crocheted headscarves - List on Etsy & wait to see what happens

Decision-making - How do I want to finish these two landscape fabric pictures made on another fun craft day with Tricia? 

            And what do I actually want to do with these Christmas blocks?

I'll send you off into a hopefully delightful rest of your week by giving you a little taste of our winter visitors. They love the seed droppings from my birdfeeders.
