One challenge I am working on is the omg-one-monthly-goal.
My December quilting goal is to complete the Simple Simon quilt top. I have not touched it for a whole two weeks. That will be my task today. To touch it. There are ten days until the end of the month. That means I should try to get at least three blocks assembled each day. Since most of the smaller units are already done, that should work. This is what four blocks together look like so far. Only 32 more to go.
I often bite off more than I can chew. I thought it would be fun to join in on the 2016-31-day-blog-writing-challenge/ and it is. However, I have to discipline myself to sit here every day and write something worth reading, I can write something every day, but is it worth reading? I love to read, I spend way too much time reading blogs and facebook. I should spend more time reading my textbooks and my Bible.
But the challenge states that we will build habits. I need to build habits. Some of the ones I have now are not working for me. For example, I go to bed way too late. To my defense, I get a second wind and my brain is alive and active after 9 pm. But often it is reading or playing computer games. And I cannot stop a game that I have not competed. Sometimes I just put my computer to sleep so I can come back to it the next day.
Then I get up way to late in the morning. This being retried has its moments. But I do get to spend time with my grandchildren. Like having the three and a half year old here all day yesterday and babysitting all the girls last night. So that must be why I did not get anything else done. And I forgot my project bag.
Blessings,
Chris

I like the way Simple Simon is coming together. She looks inspiring. I don't think I would join the 30 day blogging challenge. But I have started a challenge today, I've started Pat Sloan's Solstice Challenge. A block a week is enough of a challenge for me. Happy sewing!
ReplyDeletethanks Gretchen. I realized that before I can start making all the blocks, I have to make a whole lot more of those four patch units. Almost done them.
