August Goals:

Which sounds very impressive depending upon your pronunciation.

Any hoo (considerably less impressive), here are my stitching goals for August:

Many of them are carry over goals from July (and maybe June too), but let me tell you about my accomplishments on the July list:

July Chatelaine goals
1. Finish stitching the last zen garden and corner element in JG.--Stitched a bit, but didn't finish.
2. Complete the black and blue border in JG.--Stitched a bit, but didn't finish.
4. Complete one blue and gold ornament in WG.--Stitched a bit, but didn't finish.
5. Complete another set of pillar/gate in WG.--Stitched a bit, but didn't finish.
6. Complete part 5 & 6 of GTK.--Done!
10. Stitch on Springtime roses. Yup!


July Non Chatelaine goals:
4. Stitch at least 20 ten by ten squares on the Santorini project for my Dad.--Stitched a bit, completed 10 squares, started many squares.
5. Stitch at least 6 ten by ten squares on the Frog Prince 3. Done!
6. Complete 6 ten by ten squares on Star Fae.--Stitched four complete squares.
7. Complete at least 6 ten by ten squares on Ballet Pigs.Done!
8. Complete at least 4 ten by ten squares on Pegasus and Castle Bubble.Done!
9. Do the final charting and start stitching on the sampler I'm doing for a friend.--Nope but I've changed my mind about the Fabric so it's good that I didn't start.

I deleted the crane goal for JG because I'm still not entirely happy with my selections for the black. I've found another silk alternative, but I need to find a reliable supplier. The nice part is that I've priced it and this is one of the least expensive silks. I've heard that the delivery is a bit unpredictable.

I switched out MTM for Taj. She has been calling me lately, so I want to put a few stitches in her.

I added 10 squares to the Santorini goal because I didn't get to them this month.

I deleted the Pegasus and Castle Bubble because I need to do more on the other projects. If I stitch on it at all, I'll only do two or four ten by ten squares.

I plan to prep some fabric for the Buttercup Fae. It's a gift and there are other items in the gift queue that need work, but I might put a few stitches in it too.

Finally, with all the craziness from the past week, I have several posts here and on Angie's Blog that are drafted. I'll be adding them and posting my 101 things list in the next few weeks.
