WIP Oct 1st 2014

Wow it is hard to believe that it is October 1^st already, where is this year going?

In 12 days lil pickle is going to be 7 months and although it’s hard to remember life without her it is also amazing that this time has gone by so fast. She is doing great and finally sleeping through the night, mommy is still having sleeping problems though go figure…lol

In addition to sleeping through the night lil pickle has also been having a couple of 1-2 hour

naps, most days. I think we have a pretty good napping schedule down now, which means I think I just might have the time to start sewing again….yahoooo!!

My goal for October is to turn one of my Wicked blog hop blocks in to a nice candle mat (I think that it is official term for a square mat you put on the table…lol)

The block is 14X14 so I am going to add a couple of borders and I think that is all it needs. I am thinking maybe purple or something with stripes.

2014  Sewing Mission Statement

In order to try and get some UFO's done this year I am going to try and keep my current to do list small and just work on one thing at a time. I am going to try and not start anything "new" but instead take one thing off of my no progress list each month.

No progress Items to date (these are projects that have appeared on the to do list for 1 or more months with you guessed it.....no progress
