15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 52

I loved participating in Kate's Life in Pieces 15 Minutes to Stitch in 2019 and am a fan of her blog. She's continuously hosted since 2011!

My 2020 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year.

• Week 52: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 95 minutes/day average across 7-days
• December: 23 of 27 = 85 %
• 2020: 301 of 362 = 83 %

Last full week of 2020 and I remain true to my goal of at least 50% days with stitching 15-minutes each day. So nice to have a 3-day weekend for the holiday. I am still continuing the focusing on the top Fettle those Finishes & Sticky Prod Along projects. 

Having the last 2 work-weeks of the year be 4-day weeks with 3-day weekends is lovely. Most of my colleagues and clients are off work and I am covering for my team. This is frequently a quiet time when I can wrap up work that needs to be completed. 

We had a nice quiet Holiday with no visiting just good food, walks together, movie watching and hobby time. The pups LOVED to rip the tissue paper off of gifts and even started to play with their new toys. Both dogs had a great time with the new hidden toys. It was a fun morning!

So, how did the sewing go this week?
