It's difficult to believe that it's already June and time to set another goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. I'm glad there's plenty of year left to get something done, because so far I'm not doing well with goals at all this year. I did complete my January goal and my February goal, but life interrupted.
While working on my February goal, my sewing room was torn up so new flooring could be installed. When that was finished I decided to have the room painted. Then for about six weeks I was faced with deep cleaning and getting things put back in order - not just the sewing room, but the entire house. Looking back I realize that I never shared photos of my completed and improved sewing room. So I'll do that first.
It's pretty awesome. Yesterday, I spent some time in my sewing room for the first time in a long while. It was so nice. Just me and Michael Buble, and James Taylor, The Mamas and The Papas, and Jackson Browne. Sigh........
I did a lot of cutting.
I had fun with the fabrics, and got two baby quilts cut out.
My goal for June is to get a baby quilt top put together for a new great-nephew. It's a pretty simple pattern. So it should be doable. Especially since I am going to retreat this month.
So, here we go again. I am linking up to Fiber of All Sorts for their June Goal Setting Party (I am #18 on the list), and then I'm going to look at some of the other goals there.
I love all the projects I began last year (well, except for that DISASTER in June!), but I am bothered that I added five things to my UFO list without removing any! That's why this year I am going to be linking up twice a month with Shanna and Melissa for their "Lovely Year of Finishes." The first week of the month I will declare my goal. The last week of the month I will share what I have completed.
First up -- January's Goal -- Aidan's Alabama Quilt. I hope to make the backing and get the quilt basted this month. I put the top together fairly quickly when he asked for a new quilt, and then all the Christmas Hubbub began so it has been waiting. It will be good to have this one completed since he is so excited about it and has been so patient!
I am linking up to Shanna's page here. There are a lot of goals posted there so take a look!
