“Fifteen Minutes Stitching a Day (FMSAD) - Successful!!!” -- February 28, 2010”

At the beginning of February, 2010, I set a goal to stitch at least fifteen minutes each day during the month of February. I decided to call this personal challenge the Fifteen Minutes Stitching a Day (FMSAD) project.

I am pleased to report that the FMSAD project was an outstanding success!

In some ways having three major snowstorms during February helped as we had several days off of work and school. On the other hand, we spent a lot of time digging out from all of the snow! :-)

What also helped was that there weren’t that many school and other activities scheduled for this month, so many of our week day nights were free. In addition, I spent a good bit of time stitching while watching the Olympics. I have several finished projects which I’ll be sharing with everyone over the next few days.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading each and every comment. I think it’s just amazing that my little home here in blog land is visited by people from all over the world! Wow!!!

“Fifteen Minutes Stitching a Day (FMSAD)” -- February 2, 2010”

Instead of an apple a day, I’ve set a goal to stitch at least fifteen minutes each day. So, I’ve started the Fifteen Minutes Stitching a Day (FMSAD) project for the month of February, 2010!

I’ve checked the calendar and so far it looks like there aren’t gobs and gobs of activities scheduled for this month. Or at least right now there aren’t! But since this is Windy Meadow that could change quickly. :-)

Last night I was able to stitch over 15 minutes, so right now I’m on track.

Think I can keep it up for the next 27? LOL!!!

It's snowing again tonight. They are forecasting 3 - 6 inches. I'm just going to sit here and look at my blog header for a while and remind myself how hot it can get in Windy Meadow. Hopefully that and a cup of soup tonight will help. :-)

“Fifteen Minute Stitching Challenge” -- June 10, 2008

Schools out! Schools out! Schools out!
And they think the kids get excited! :-)

Today is the last day of school for my children and they and I are very excited. They both have lots of fun activities planned for the summer. Next year they will both be in the same school again for one year instead of in opposite directions which will help with scheduling and just about everything so I’m excited!

With all of the busyness of the end of the school year activities, I have been able to stitch at least fifteen minutes each day! Wahoo!!!

How is everyone else doing? Janet, Pat, Jeanne? Anyone else?

I’ve taken pictures of my status as of this past Sunday night which I’ll be posting soon. Here in Windy Meadow we’ve been having a “little” bit of a problem with our Internet connection and now they are calling for storms again tonight and into tomorrow. Sigh… If the cable cooperates, I hope to have new pictures up tonight or tomorrow.

I really appreciate everyone’s comments and that you take the time to visit my blog.
Thank you!!!

“Fifteen Minute Stitching Challenge” -- June 1, 2008

I’ve decided on setting a goal for myself during the month of June, 2008. I’m challenging myself to stitch at least 15 minutes each day. Cross your fingers that I’m able to meet this goal!

You are also welcome to join me in my challenge. Just let me know by commenting if you too have decided to stitch at least 15 minutes each day. I’d love reading about your progress. :-)

Why a stitching challenge you ask? Well school is almost over for this year and I am wrapping up some of my volunteer activities. So I’m planning on having more time to stitch. I also want to get more stitching done for fun and to make some progress on my projects. I haven’t had any project finishes for a while though I can see that I’ve made progress on all of my projects.

Why a stitching challenge in June? I’ve seen other stitching and posting challenges on other stitchers blogs but they always seem to be scheduled for my busy times. For example, I really don’t have time to post a blog entry every day during the month of November. I mean talk about a busy time of year! :-) I usually have a lot more free time during January through February and then mid-June through the third week of August.

I’m already cutting it a little close to meet my goal for today. It’s already past 9:00pm our time so as soon as I post this entry I’m heading over to work on my projects.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. I love reading everyone’s comments! :-)
