15 Minutes To Stitch 2022

15 Minutes To Stitch 2022 - Week 33

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 2022 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year, same as 2021.

Week 33: 7 of 7 = 100 %

84 minutes/day average across 7-days

August 14 of 14 = 100%
2022: 196 of 226 = 87 %

Took Friday off from work when I realized that my first dental cleaning in a new office was in the middle of the day. Cleaning went well and I really like this office which is new to me. Unfortunately, a cavity was found, only my second one ever! Luckily she had time to fix it before I left. So glad I took the day off, but really didn't get to do much else. When I returned home by 2pm had lunch, all I could do was nap. Maybe next weekend when I have both Thursday (Mr. Hubby Bear's Birthday) and Friday off with no plans other than spending time with my favorite person.

The weekend after will be Quilt Guild Retreat, AKA Quilt Camp. I'm so looking forward to my first one. I'm having a great time "preparing" projects to take with me to sew.

Below I am sharing my weekly goals that help me focus on a small task to get me breaking down large milestones into small bites.

Sew one thing:
