15 Minutes To Stitch 2021

15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Week 50

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 50: 7 of 7 = 100 %

81 minutes/day average across 7-days

December 12 of 12 = 100%
2021: 308 of 346 = 89 %

Continuing to learn from Abraham Hicks YouTubes about how to continue to enjoy my life more and more. I continue to come to terms with my increased duties at work. And I am feeling so much better about myself. Hubby and the dogs and I have had a good solid week at home before the Holiday prep and parties start.

Taking out one dog at a time or with Osky on leash is working great. And Kipper's ear treatments are going well, 6bgth of the 9-weeks yeast infection treatment for deep in his ears. He's responding well to the treatment and I'm so glad it only has to be applied once a week. We do it after his weekly bath on Sundays.

So, how did the sewing projects go?

1) Honey Bee Quilters Guild held the annual Elfin Magic workshop remaining projects not yet done:
