15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Weeks 19-22

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 19: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 32 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 20: 5 of 7 = 71 %
• 59 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 21: 5 of 7 = 71 %
• 45 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 22: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 60 minutes/day average across 7-days
• May: 24 of 30 = 80 %
• 2021: 128 of 150 = 85 %

Oh, my goodness where have I been? How have 4 weeks passed so fast without my taking the time to blog? Just a lot of work. Puppy was sick twice with different things and hubby's complications with dental issues. 

Luckily, I finished all the projects for my sister and she even got a compliment 'out on the street.' How exciting!!!

Waited two weeks after my second COVID shot and and I've had some adventures. First haircut after 23-months and I feel fabulous!!! Also had my first deep dental cleaning after maybe 26-months. And I got a new Oral-B electric toothbrush that I am loving. Also, I went to a ruler quilting class and I'm so excited. I even did a practice sandwich when I came home.

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