goals and stuff update

June is the month that i look over those goals i made in january and see how it's going.... (excuse me while I lmao and pimp) ok.... lets see

using the stash is going well........ I've done quite a bit from my stash cabinets and a lot from my huge scrap box!! that project is doing just fine.......

i'm on track with my dishcloths.... I have 2 for each month so far and I've started the first one for june......... these might slow at bit thru the summer..........

the garden is planted and the rain and extreme heat we've had is really making it grow! the weeds are growing quite nicely also! lol I plan to get some packets of seeds for the areas that don't have plants in them.... maybe some carrots and some beets.........they are pretty forgiving veggies

ok.. back to the goals........... I've done 13 ufo's so far this year.... that's more than I had expected to get done so I'm on track with that goal.... there are a number of UFO's left in the box but i think it just might be possible that 90% of them at least will be done by the end of the year....

I have 3 quilts that I had hoped to have done by now but are still on the waiting pile... the giant postage stamp quilt.... the 30's quilt and the buzz blocks quilt... there's still time to get them backed and batted and probably tied if I can stay motivated......

Learning to knit socks and making a wearable pair is now a reality!! woooo hooooo!!!
I have one sock done up to the toe......... that's what our next class will be ...toe shaping.... the second sock is currently on the leg part... I would like to have that sock at least up to the heel before class on tuesday....not sure I remember exactly how it goes.... but I'll try it....and if not... then i'll get a refresher on tuesday.... it's a nice pair of wool boot socks....... they will be great for the winter. I also plan to make a couple pair of sneaker socks and a couple of fingerless gloves by the end of summer......

so that's how the goals are going....... i didn't do much sewing this week.... a couple more sock sacks but i did get all of my june mail to the postoffice.

all of my bitty blocks for july are done and I have my plan for august...........
the july and august mug rugs have been planned also.......... my mini swap is in the planning stage and my alphabitty blocks for august are in sample planning mode so I'm good!!

i think tonite I'll work on my sock and then tomorrow hit the sewing room....i'll take some sock pics later tonite and also pics of the newest sock sacks...

so til then

stay safe stay dry stay cool
