15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Weeks 17 & 18

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 17: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 36 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 18: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 77 minutes/day average across 7-days
• April: 23 of 30 = 77 %
• May: 2 of 2 = 100 %
• 2021: 106 of 122 = 87 %

Almost done the 3rd project to send to one of my sisters. I'm loving having this time to do something for her. It's been a little difficult for me to express myself over the past two weeks so I skipped the blog. 

I've been a little depressed, but it's from self introspection. I'm doing really great today and I'm opening up more to who I really am. Hubby and I both are students of the Law of Attraction. We met at a seminar on the subject and hit it off immediately. We are discussing it again and be with our 'failings' in life. 

THEN, my second Moderna COVID-19 shot made my whole arm, back and side sore. My hot flashes seemed to be exacerbated in the last few weeks and my sleep was disturbed. So, I had taken the day of the shot off for work and added the following day unexpectedly as a sick day. I slept on and off with a little effort to get the dogs outside.

And NOW I'm BACK! Feeling better, scheduled a haircut for two weeks out. My first haircut in 23-months. AND my first haircut in my new state of 22-months. Next to schedule is a dental cleaning, maybe 26-months ago.

So back to my life's purpose, how did the sewing go?

Top items with progress:

1) Completed the 2nd Swoon Summer Festival Sling,
