15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Week 16
I loved participating in Kate's Life in Pieces 15 Minutes to Stitch since 2020 and am a fan of her blog. She's continuously hosted since 2011!
My 2021 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year.
- Week 16: 5 of 7 = 71 %
- 53 minutes/day average across 7-days
- April: 13 of 18 = 72 %
- 2021: 94 of 108 = 87 %
Continuing working on a secret sewing project and I've almost completed this One Monthly Goal. I've been continuing checking in with myself to open up more and express my authentic self with less and less suppression of my emotions. I've been watching some YouTube videos of Gabor Mate's presentations and interviews to understand more of what's I'm up against. I do have an Addiction in the way he defines them. If you are interested, I recommend this ONE illustrated by After Skool.
The question now is how to find the moments when I am triggered, what emotions are being suppressed and finding a way to express them.
So, how did the sewing go?
Top items with progress:
1) Bagged the Smitten Papers for 7 blocks, 4 for Month 2 and 3 for Month 3.

You are well ahead on your stitching goal for the year. Fingers crossed this week is as good and you make good progress on your secret sewing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kate. It's a very busy time at work and I question if I will be able to keep the sewing up to keep my sanity. Need some housecleaning accomplished as well.
